Comments Domaine Mumm contracted with Foundation Plant Services in 1988 to import four Pinot noir clones from Champagne Perrier-jouet, France, for the Domaine Mumm vineyards and the FPS public collection. All of the clones in this set were duplicated in other importations, but multiple copies of the same clone have been maintained in the FPS collection if the copies originated from different sources. Since there is no way to verify clonal identity, keeping multiple copies increases the chances of having an accurate copy of a specific clone. Pinot noir 51 came to FPS in 1988 as part of this importation. It is reported to be French clone 665. The original material underwent microshoot tip tissue culture therapy soon after arriving at FPS.

Comments Gloria Ferrer arranged for the Saanichton Plant Quarantine Station in British Columbia to import 12 Pinot noir clones from Epernay, France, in 1989. Foundation Plant Services' importation services were very limited at that time, while new quarantine facilities were under construction in Davis. Saanichton was able to ship these clones to Gloria Ferrer in Sonoma in 1993, after completing all the tests to qualify them for certification in Canada. In 1996, Gloria Ferrer generously donated cuttings from all 12 clones to the FPS public collection. FPS retested all the clones and qualified them for registration in the California Grapevine Registration & Certification Program by 2002. The plant material for this selection is reported to be French clone 871. After completion of testing, Pinot noir 54 was planted in the FPS Classic Foundation Vineyard in 1998.

Comments Sometime before 1966, three Pinot noir selections for Foundation Plant Services were collected out of the Martini clonal trial set up by Dr. Harold Olmo (U.C. Davis Department of Viticulture & Enology) and Louis Martini in a vineyard located on Stanly Lane in Carneros. Two of the selections (that ultimately became Pinot noir 13 and 66) were taken from the same row at Stanly Lane. Each row of the Stanly Lane trial contained a different Martini clone. All of row 7 was planted with Martini clone 58. The plant material for this selection (Pinot noir 66) was collected from one of the Martini clone 58 vines. This selection did not undergo heat treatment at FPS. Pinot noir 13 was also collected from row 7 of the trial and was Martini clone 58; however, Pinot noir 13 underwent heat treatment at FPS. The untreated Martini 58 material was included in the Carneros Creek Trials as the "Carneros Creek V clone". The V clone was later donated to FPS in 1996 by Francis Mahoney from the Carneros Creek Pinot noir trial. After successful completion of testing for the California Grapevine Registration & Certification Program, Pinot noir 66 was planted in the FPS Classic Foundation Vineyard in 1999. It is likely that Pinot noir 13 and 66 originated from the same source.

Comments Domaine Mumm contracted with Foundation Plant Services in 1988 to import four Pinot noir clones from Champagne Perrier-Jouet, France, for the Domaine Mumm vineyards and the FPS public collection. All of the clones in this set were duplicated in other importations, but multiple copies of the same clone have been maintained in the FPS collection if the copies originated from different sources. Since there is no way to verify clonal identity, keeping multiple copies increases the chances of having an accurate copy of a specific clone. Pinot noir 73 came to FPS in 1988 as part of this importation. It is reported to be French clone 115. The original material underwent microshoot tip tissue culture therapy in 1998 at FPS. After successful completion of testing for the California Grapevine Registration & Certification Program, Pinot noir 73 was planted in the FPS Classic Foundation Vineyard in 2000.

Treatments Microshoot tip tissue culture therapy
Comments The original material for this selection came to Foundation Plant Services in the early 1960's from an old vineyard on the campus of the University of California, Davis. That vineyard was maintained by the Department of Viticulture & Enology. This selection was one of a group of Pinot noir selections at FPS that have been known as the Gamay Beaujolais type, which are characterized by high vigor and an upright growth habit. The records show that all five selections in this group were derived from the same single vine source at the University of California, Davis (location I60 v 15). This selection was initially planted in the FPS foundation vineyard as Pinot noir 21, which was dropped from the list of registered vines in 1982 because it tested leafroll positive. In 1999, Pinot noir 104 was created from Pinot noir 21 using microshoot tip tissue culture disease elimination therapy. After successful completion of testing for the California Registration & Certification Program, Pinot noir 104 was planted in the FPS Classic Foundation Vineyard in 2003. The other Gamay Beaujolais-type Pinot noir selections at FPS were Pinot noir 18, 19, 20 (dropped) and 22.

Treatments Microshoot tip tissue culture
Comments This selection was collected by Dr. Austin Goheen, USDA-ARS Plant Pathologist, in the early 1960's from the former University of California Foothill Experiment Station in Jackson, California. The material was collected from location L3v5 and was initially labeled 'Pinot franc' and 'Pinot St. George'. After index testing at FPS, vines were planted in the old FPS foundation vineyard in 1967 as Pinot noir 29. Pinot noir 29 never attained registered status in the California Grapevine Registration & Certification Program because of concerns about the varietal identification. Oregon researchers included Pinot noir 29 in several of their clonal trials and rated it in the highest wine quality group. Due that interest, the disease tests were repeated on Pinot noir 29 in the late 1990's in order to qualify it for the R&C Program. In 1998, Pinot noir 29 underwent microshoot tip tissue culture therapy to eliminate leafroll virus. After successful completion of testing for the California R&C Program, the treated selection was planted in the FPS Classic Foundation Vineyard in 2003 under the new name Pinot noir 106. The varietal identification of the selection as Pinot noir was confirmed by DNA analysis at FPS in 2006.

Comments Dr. Harold Olmo (Department of Viticulture & Enology, University of California, Davis) introduced the original material for this selection to Foundation Plant Services in 1951. The plant material came from Spain and was labeled 'Beba'. There are two wine grapes with the name 'Beba' from Spain, one white and one red. Spanish experts indicated that Beba is a cultivar unrelated to Pinot noir, so the meaning of the 'Beba' designation for this selection was unclear. The original material underwent index testing at FPS and was planted in the old foundation vineyard in 1961 as Pinot noir 10. In 1999, Pinot noir 10 underwent microshoot tip tissue culture therapy. After successful completion of testing for the California Grapevine Registration & Certification Program, a new treated selection was planted in the FPS Classic Foundation Vineyard in 2003 as Pinot noir 107. DNA analysis at FPS confirmed the identity of the selection as Pinot noir in 2006.

Comments In 1974, Francis Mahoney, owner of Carneros Creek Winery, began a Pinot noir clonal trial at Carneros Creek Winery in cooperation with Curtis Alley, UC Davis viticulture specialist. In 1996, Mr. Mahoney donated what he thought were the five best California heritage Pinot noir clones to Foundation Plant Services. The source of Pinot noir 108 was clone 'E' from the trial, which originally came from the Gustav Niebaum/John Daniel/Inglenook estate in Napa Valley, California. From there it went to the Oakville Viticulture Field Station and then to the Stelling vineyard across the street from the field station. Zellerbach got wood from Stelling for his Hanzel vineyard. This Hanzel wood was the source for clone 'E'. The original plant material for this selection underwent microshoot tip tissue culture therapy at FPS in 1997. After successful completion of testing for the California Grapevine Registration & Certification Program, Pinot noir 108 was planted in the FPS Classic Foundation Vineyard in 2004.

The original plant material was indexed and then planted in the old foundation vineyard in 1969 as Pinot noir 17. Pinot noir 17 was removed from the California Grapevine Registration & Certification Program in 1980 because it tested positive for Rupestris stem pitting virus, which at the time was not allowed in the California program. Pinot noir 17 underwent microshoot tip tissue culture therapy at FPS in 1999. After successful completion of testing for the California R&C Program, the treated plant material was installed in the FPS Classic Foundation Vineyard in 2005 as Pinot noir 109.
