$45.00 per bottle
Description:
This vintage of our Quail Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir has even more forward perfume than its highly acclaimed 2002 predecessor. There is a striking purity of cool-climate Pinot aromatics here. Notes of crushed ripe raspberry and tart pie cherry come immediately to mind with complex floral overtones weaving in and out of the nose as this wine opens up in the glass. Subtle accents of a coriander-like spice and toasty oak round out the profile. Flavors are juicy, yet not overripe in any way, with an uncommon minerality this year. Elegant, balanced extraction, and crisp acidity give weight and length without heaviness. Overall, a classic expression of our home estate and our distinctive area within the Russian River Valley. This wine will drink wonderfully upon release in the Fall of 2005 and, like previous vintages, will continue to improve with further bottle age. We expect a graceful and rewarding evolution over the next 5-10 years.
