Chime Cellars is collaboration between Phil Laramore a long time Sommelier from Colorado and Craig Handly, the consulting winemaker. Craig and Phil have a deep rooted love and appreciation for the finesse and subtleties of Pinot Noir in particular. It’s always amazing that two vineyards of Pinot Noir that are so close together can produce such drastically different styles of wine. Chime Cellars is named because they see Pinot Noir and Chardonnay as wines of reflection. Many wine drinkers are quick to dismiss Pinot Noir because of its light body and color. Chime Cellars sees Pinot Noir as always offering new things to discover if you’re "in tune" with the wine. Craig Handly crafts the wines to bring out the individual terroir of the appellation. They also believe that you don’t have to pay a fortune to enjoy these hand crafted wines. All fruit is brought to the Ranch Custom Crush Facility (Joel Gott) immediately after the harvest.
