Wine Details
Price:
$45.00 per bottle
Description:
This wine is a combination of small lots from a vineyard farmed by Ted Klopp in the small town of Sebastopol in western Sonoma County. The block is planted to the Swan clone, a mainstay of Sonoma Pinot Noir vineyards, which produces complex, but rather delicate wines. The 2004 crop was relatively small and was harvested relatively early due to warm, dry spring weather. Our aim was to gently extract all the flavor and color, then carefully develop the complexity of the wine through aging in French oak barrels coopered by Tonnellerie Remond. The wine shows excellent balance and varietal character, with a delicate tannin structure. This wine should develop complexity with three years in the bottle and hold for many years after that.
