Description:
This is the second of our 2002 pinots to be released and again the vineyard has provided us with a great wine. Heavy clay soils of the Hein vineyard have created a wine with good concentration, depth, with a silky texture and fine grained tannins. The wine has surely benefited from nearly a year in bottle and has helped integrate the tannins, from the 40% whole cluster fermentation, with the pure dark fruits we get from this vineyard. Another year or two in bottle and this wine should be hitting its stride.
The wine manages concentrated intense flavors yet keeps a sense of elegance and balance. Black cherry, rhubarb, mace and dusty talc like nuance are prominent in the nose. Lingering flavors mirror the aromatics and are buttressed by firm but supple tannins and balanced acidity. Though approachable now, the wine will surely benefit from some short term cellaring.
