| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\nRamsay Pinot Noir is stunningly beautiful, fully in bloom both in the nose and on the palate. The flavor is full of fruit, but also with all sorts of complex overtones of earth, oak and flowers. The nose follows the mouth almost perfectly, but is also balanced and lush.\r\nAbout Ramsay Winery\r\nA native Californian, born in San Francisco, Kent Rasmussen spent his early years in Belmont, on San Francisco\u2019s Lower Peninsula. He later attended high school in the southern California community of Whittier, where a foreign exchange program placed him with a winemaking family in Germany. Bitten by the winemaking bug, he started producing wine at home upon return to the States.\r\nHis passion and enjoyment of this hobby led Kent to take it to the next level.\u00a0 He decided to pursue his longtime grape growing and winemaking bug on a professional level. He enrolled at UC Davis and earned a Bachelor of Science in Enology. After graduating he gained valuable winemaking knowledge and experience at Robert Mondavi Winery, Domaine Chandon, Stellenbosch Farmers\u2019 Winery in South Africa and Saltram\u2019s Wine Estate in Australia\u2019s Barossa Valley, before starting his own Ramsay winery in 1986.\u00a0\r\nRamsay (named after Kent\u2019s wife Celia\u2019s maiden name) is best known for its high quality, but lower-price wines. Ramsay Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon are often poured by the glass in wine bars and restaurants.\r\nSince its modest beginnings in a Carneros garage on Cuttings Wharf Road in 1986, the Ramsay winery has evolved as its owners\u2019 lives have changed.\u00a0 Part of this evolution recently included bringing Ramsay into the portfolio of Kent\u2019s long-time business partner- 689 Cellars.\u00a0 In its new home at 689 Cellars, the Ramsay brand has undergone a label refresh, but the wines will remain true-to-form, representing some of the best values California has to offer.\r\nKent\u2019s passion for winemaking is as strong as ever. He has often stated that the unfortunate truth about wine is that you only get one chance a year to make it; he jokes, \u201cI think I\u2019m finally figuring out how it all works!\u201d\u00a0\r\n \r\n\r\n |
