"Another intriguing offering is the 2009 Pinot Noir Chimera. Most Burgundy varietals did well in 2009 because it was such a perfumed vintage given the cooler temperatures. The lacy, elegant Chimera possesses a fragrant bouquet of spring flowers intermixed with red and blue fruits as well as mossy underbrush characteristics, a round, generous mouthfeel and sweet, silky tannins. Already delicious as well as complex, it can be enjoyed over the next 2-3 years. "

"Wilson vineyard is located the most Northern part of the Sonoma Coast appellation in the town of Annapolis. The entire vineyard is only 2 acres, planted at 700 feet above Sea level and only 3 miles from the coast Pinot Noir thrives in this cool coastal area. The newer French clone 777 on rootstock, 3309, is planted.
Sean Capiaux founded Capiaux Cellars in 1994 while working at Peter Michael Winery. Capiaux Cellars is dedicated to producing small lots of vineyard designated Pinot Noir from California using traditional Burgundian techniques. The wines are produced from vineyards such as Widdoes from Russian River, Demostene from Sonoma County, Pisoni and Garys' in the Santa Lucia Highlands, and V-C and Wilson in the Sonoma Coast appellation. The philosophy is to produce wines that express the unique terroir of the source vineyards." ~ Winery notes
