Notes at release:
At present, this Pinot Noir is a very modern California-styled
vintage. Rich, forward and immediately appealing, this
vintage is atypical for us as our Pinots are usually more
Burgundian in profile.
The 2004 vintage throughout California was an early harvest
with big ripeness as a hallmark. Fermented using wild yeast,
this wine goes through full malolactic fermentation in the barrel.
Aged in new French oak for eleven months without any racking,
fining, or filtration, it is a perfect juxtaposition--at one point
classic and at another modern. That being said, it is a delicious
wine--albeit a bit precocious.
Expect excellent bottle development over the next five to
seven years and a drinking plateau through 2020.
