2019 Niner Edna Valley Pinot Noir
Paso Robles
100% Estate Grown
Winemaker Notes
This expressive wine opens with soft notes of potpourri intertwined with organic earth and a hint of spiced clove and citrus zest. The wine hits the palate with complex notes of dried rose petals and violets while showcasing fruit notes of cranberries which are married with wet earth and a hint of spice.

About Niner Estate
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 our LEED Certified Winery at 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.
WE LOVE WHERE WE LIVE AND WHAT WE DO
We are passionate about sharing our wines with our customers in every aspect of any experience. The Central Coast of California is truly a spectacular place, and we host winery tours, seasonally inspired lunch service and a variety of fun and creative dinners designed to showcase it.
We believe that good people are the key to a memorable experience, so all our events are designed to be interactive and educational. Our Chef might decide to teach you how to shuck fresh oysters during a class; our Winemaker may lead a blending seminar with his favorite barrels; our Vineyard Manager might take you to the top of Heart Hill to geek out about rootstock. Regardless, our goal is to have guests walk away loving this place as much as we do.

THIRD-PARTY CERTIFICATIONS
In 2023 we were awarded the California Green Medal Sustainable Winegrowing Leadership Award for Business. This award recognizes businesses for their advanced sustainability practices and innovation based on a comprehensive judging process focused on both sustainable viticulture and winemaking.
Our wineries, tasting room and restaurant are certified Silver in the “Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design” program. LEED is the “globally recognized standard for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings and neighborhoods.” This certification speaks to the way our buildings are built: features like motion-activated lights, night-air cooling and our on-site water reclamation system are all factors.
Our wineries and vineyards are SIP Certified. If you think of LEED as a certification for how our buildings are constructed; SIP (“Sustainability in Practice”) is a certification for how we operate. We could have the most environmentally friendly building around and it would be a moot point if we left on all of our lights and opened up our water taps. The SIP Winery Certification includes a third-party audit that monitors our resource use and operating plans to ensure that we are being sustainable in our practices. In 2016 we became the first winery to achieve this certification.
