Description:
We picked this fruit in two passes about a week apart in late September, first the Pommard clone then the Mt. Eden. As always, we destemmed the fruit into open-topped fermenters where it was handled gently with daily manual punch-downs. We then aged the wine in all French oak barrels, one-third of which were new. The "pure-Pinot nose" marked by nuances of tea, cinnamon and classic notes of light and dark cherry, is so intense you may forget to actually drink it. If you do continue on you will be rewarded with great subtlety and delicacy on the palate and a bit of cola on the finish. Although this wine should cellar well for 5-7 years, Ehren says it is "Oh so tasty, now".
