Price:
$28.00 per bottle
Description:
This is my smallest lot of Pinot Noir, the grapes are grown by my friend, Denis Rioual, in his tiny vineyard north of the town of Sebastopol in the Russian River Valley. The first harvest was in 2003 and yielded barely one half ton. The vineyard is planted in clones of 667, 777, with a scattering of Pommard. This first harvest only produced 24 cases, with an alcohol content of 14.1%. It is a wonderful, deep and dark Pinot, tasting of black cherries and plums, with great texture and mouthfeel. It has a nice smoky nose that extends and lingers on the palate. The 2003 production was so small that I only released it to one local restaurant and one wine shop--the rest reserved for sale on my website. I am loking forward to the 2004, which will be released in spring, and of which there is more.
