Niner Wine Estates 2019 Niner Pinot Noir

FAMILY OWNED & ESTATE GROWN We are 100% estate grown and the integration of farming and winemaking is the foundation of everything we do. We currently farm a total of 240 acres across three different vineyards in Paso Robles and Edna Valley, and make all our wine in ourLEED Certified Wineryat Heart Hill Vineyard. We are known for our estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay as well as our flagship blend Fog Catcher; however, we grow a wide range of varietals and specialize in small lot bottlings that we allocate primarily to our Wine Club Members. After growing up on a farm in West Virginia, Richard Niner spent his career building small businesses across a wide variety of industries. One of his business ventures brought him to Paso Robles in the early 1990s and he was immediately drawn to the potential of both the land and the people who lived here. After a long search, Richard and Pam purchased their first vineyard, Bootjack Ranch,in 2001 and spent the next decade building a tasting room and winery, finding and planting two additional vineyards, and assembling the current team. In 2013 they retired and their son Andy took over the day-to-day management of the business.
