Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir Reserve Wine Details
Price: $27.50 per bottle

Description: Bronze Medal Winner, 2005 Oregon State Fair The fall of 2003 in Oregon was long and warm, allowing the grapes to reach peak levels of ripeness before harvest. Ankeny's 2003 Pinot Noir Reserve is a rich blend of one-half Dijon (clones 114 and 115) and one-half Pommard and Wadenswil clones, each vinted separately. The destemmed grapes (with 40% whole berries) were cold-soaked for four days before being inoculated with BRG yeast. This wine has a soft mouth feel, redolent with dark fruit flavors of cherry and blackberries. It flows smoothly over the tongue and finishes with lingering flavors. Enjoy now or lay it down for another two to three years.
