Event Details
Wine OR Wine & Food
At 2600’ elevation on the Loma Prieta ridge top, Muns Vineyard is ideal for growing premium Pinot Noir. It is the highest Pinot Noir vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The site enjoys panoramic views over the redwood forests to span Monterey Bay, from Santa Cruz to Monterey, and eastward to Mount Bache and towards Los Gatos. The vineyard sits above the fog line and is cooled by the gentle maritime breeze that sweeps in almost constantly off of Monterey Bay in the summertime. In the winter it is not uncommon for the vineyard to be blanketed in snow. The soil varies from rich loam to shale to red clay.
Winemaker Tony Craig (Sonnet, Savannah-Chanelle, Tondres and formerly of David Bruce) uses grapes grown exclusively from the Muns Estate Vineyard. Only150 cases were produced under the Muns Vineyard label. This wine (characteristic of Tony Craig’s winemaking style) is elegant and balanced; with a silky, sensuous mouthfeel. It will age beautifully. A premium Pinot Noir: elegant, complex, balanced. Dijon clones: 114, 115, 667, 777.
Wines being tasted include:
2008 Rose of Pinot Noir $18.00
2005 Muns Vineyard Pinot Noir $40.00
2007 Muns Vineyard Pinot Noir $40.00
The tasting fee is $5.00, waived with a Muns Vineyard purchase.
During this event we are pleased to offer a discount of 5% on a purchase fof three bottles of Muns Vineyard. 10% on a purchase of 6 bottles of Muns Vineyard.
