Beginning with William Hill. Estates 140-acre benchland vineyard near the Silverado Trail, Winemaker Mark. Williams turns to the hidden corners of southern Napa, the North Coast and. the Central Coast to create a unique collection of rich, expressive wines. Wine Tasting Notes. Deep and rich, our William Hill Central Coast Pinot Noir opens with aromas. of black cherry, toasted oak spice and lavender. On the palate, enjoy ripe. flavors of raspberry and boysenberry. A firm acidity and smooth mouthfeel. lead to a lingering finish. Viticulture Notes. In 2014, the majority of our Central Coast Pinot Noir grapes were selected. from the Santa Lucia Highlands and Edna Valley AVAs. Both renowned for. their long growing seasons, the grapes in these two Central Coast sub-AVAs. were allowed more time for flavor development on the vine while still retaining. a naturally firm acidity. The 2014 vintage was short because of the warm, dry. weather that led to an early harvest. Overall, the grapes from this year. translated into ripe fruit flavors and a firm structure in the glass. Winemaker Notes. The grapes for this wine were cold soaked for five days before fermentation,. which lasted two weeks at a maximum temperature of 85°f. The juice was. pumped over the skins throughout fermentation with some extended. maceration for optimal extraction of color and flavor. After fermentation, this. Pinot aged for up to 15 months in stainless steel tanks before bottling. V A R Ie T Al C O N T E Nt. P In O T N O Ir. A P P E L L At Io N. Ce N T R Al Co Ast. A L Co Ho L L E Ve L. 14.2%.
