Item Description
This wine is a blend from several vineyards and Pinot noir clones, each of which contributes something unique to the finished wine. The late-ripening Ferguson vineyard lends dark, intense fruit and tannins while the Giberti vineyard ripens earlier in a slightly warmer area of the valley. The backbone of the blend is from the Swicegood vineyard where the soils are reminiscent of those in Burgundy: rich in clay and calcareous. Grapes are destemmed and go through native fermentation in open-top vats with hand punchdowns. The Giberti and Ferguson lots were blended after pressing, and were aged separately from the Swicegood lots until just before bottling. Complex and enticingly aromatic, bursting with notes of raspberries, strawberry-rhubarb pie, plum and black cherries with traces of pine duff and lavender. With a rich fruit palate, a fine-grained medium body and long finish, this wine is excellent alone or with grilled salmon or a seared duck breast with a blackcurrant glaze. This wine received a score of 92 points from the Wine Spectator who noted that the wine was tightly wound, firm and intense, with a minerally edge to the flinty berry flavors that are delicate and spicy, ending with a rich berry medley. Drink now through 2016. This item includes a VIP tasting, cheese pairing and tour for two guests at DeLoach Vineyards in the beautiful Russian River Valley.
