2004 ESTATE PINOT NOIR, SPECIAL BURGUNDIAN CLONE
COMPLETELY SOLD OUT
2005 to be released in early fall 2008
Available only to Wine Group members
Released August 2007
Tended exclusively by Jim, this is the first vintage from this special half-acre block. This clone, a rarely propagated French pinot noir clone is not available in the U.S. Its taste is similar to its Burgundian counterpart: rich, concentrated, layered and unique in its flavor profile. Expansive nose, intense aromas of plums, black cherries, carries through to the palate with complex, yet subtle layers of unfolding flavors, including dark cherry, plum, orange peel and raspberry. Lingering finish, long supple tannins and flavors of dried cherry and black tea. Extremely age worthy, and should continue to evolve for at least 8-10 years.
