2005 Pinot Noir
Occidental Ridge, Sonoma Coast
Harvested in two passes, on the 21st and 27th of September, the fruit is treated to the same “by-hand” regimen as our other Pinots, destemming into open-topped fermenters for daily punch-downs, the most gentle means of flavor and tannin extraction. French oak barrels, one-third new, receive the fermented wine for a full-year of aging. The resulting concentrated nose invites time and attention. Big explosive aromas of red stone fruit and berries like frais de bois give way to subtle wafts of smoke and rose petals. Solid yet smooth tannins create a rich mouthfeel redolent of exotic tea. This powerful pinot should age well for up to 12 years.
