Notes at release:
We've been growing and making Pinot Noir on this same piece of
mountain soil for 65 years. Believe it or not, this is the longest
lineage on our continent. What can one say after an historic run
like this?
2006 was a strong vintage. The winter was cold with adequate
rainfall and good fruit set in the spring. What really sets up the
vintage quality, however, is the weather in the fall during the
final ripening; 2006 was text book with a long, slow, cool finish.
1991 was a vintage of similar style. My library has precious few
bottles left of that stand-out year.
This pinot has lovely transparency in the aromas--red berries,
oriental spices and earth; medium weight on the palate with fine
delineation of raspberry-plum flavors with firm acidity and length,
all but guarantee grace and longevity.
Total production: 846 cases
