Description:
Prosser grape grower, Harold Pleasant, originally brought me two bins of this Swiss clone of Pinot called Klevner Mariafeld in 1989 and asked me to see what it made. I wasn't really interested in this variety, but thought I'd better humor him and went through the motions of making a medium, bodied red wine. Six or eight months later I was sampling it from the barrel and found it had some real possibilities, a clean taste from ample acid, adequate but not too much tannin and a nice strawberry/farmyard flavor- a pleasant barnyard aroma, of horse lather, fermenting hay and fruit. All in all, a very good food wine- in fact, we drink this at home several times a week- it really goes well with a lot of foods- our favorite is linguini with smoked salmon and pesto and we also enjoy it with Red beans and Rice. I haven't made any of this since '92 and will be sad when this lot is gone- so had better make some this year.
