S
ince the 1994 vintage, the best part of Navarro's Pinot Noir has been pre-sold a year before release. We call our favorite Pinot Noir the Deep End Blend. "Deep End" is an old Boontling term for the chilly northwestern edge of the Anderson Valley where the grapes, cooled by ocean breezes, mature slowly and ripen late. This wine is a blend of our best lots from our best Deep End vineyards aged in our best barrels so it is a special wine that we can only produce in a limited quantity. The 2004 sold as futures last year. Out of 3189 wines judged at the 2006 Orange County Fair it was judged California's best premium red.
Navarro's Garden Spot vineyard
is located about 1200 feet above the valley floor. Ocean breezes, a rugged terrain and excellent clonal selections makes the Pinot Noir grown on this five acre hillside our favorite. Not only grapevines thrive here; the fig tree has produced fruit for over eight decades.
Tasting a barrel sample before a wine is packaged and bottle-aged requires skill. It takes experience to predict how a wine will taste a year down the road. Navarro's Pre-Release customers practice the art of barrel sampling
Navarro Pinot Noir at the August Futures Offering and Barrel Tasting.
Selling Navarro's Deep End Blend Pinot Noir as futures to our web friends allows us to reserve our best Pinot Noir to our most dedicated customers at an old-fashioned price. We will bottle the 2005 Deep End Blend at the end of August and age it another year in our cellars. Wine purchased as futures will be available for pick up or delivery in 2007 from mid-August until November. Price does not include sales tax or shipping which will be collected when the wine is shipped. The futures offering ends when the quantities set aside are fully subscribed and no later than August 27, 2006. Futures are available in a six pack, a twelve pack or a two bottle magnum pack.
