2000 Russian River Valley
The Russian River Valley in Sonoma has a well deserved reputation for pinot
noirs with ripe flavors and supple palates.Given to warm days and cool nights,
pinot noir here achieves full flavor maturity without becoming overripe.The
2000 vintage gave us a long,even ripening season,creating a wine with luscious
cherry fruit flavors and an enticing sense of richness in the mouth.Over twelve
months aging in French oak barrels without being pumped,and the gentlest
handling enroute to the bottle,has helped preserve subtle character and texture
in the wine.While drinking beautifully now,it can support up to five years
additional cellaring if desired.
