Item Description
Four stellar Pinots rated 93+ points from the powerhouse of Pinot, Williams Selyem and Wine Enthusiasts 2011 winemaker of the year, Bob Cabral. Some say it is the climate that makes the fruit that makes the wine great, others opine that it is the terroir. Here is a spectacular opportunity to decide for yourself the effect of climate and terroir as you compare four wines from the Sonoma and Mendocino coasts. Sample the Hirsch and Peay Vineyards Pinot from the Sonoma Coast. Hirsch tasting notes call up aromas of wild blackberries, cassis, cola and truffles bursting out of my glass. The concentrated flavors of wild berries, spice, cardamom and coffee expand throughout the palate. Round brooding tannins coat the palate nicely with a juicy acidity in the finish. The Peay notes aromas of raspberry, black cherries, sage, roasted vanilla beans and cappuccino. The smallish crop concentrated the supple tannins and fills your mouth with flavors of wild berries, citrus zest, dark chocolate, sweet spices and mineral. The Mendocino coast wines from the Ferrington and Weir vineyards are far north of their Sonoma coastal cousins. The Ferrington was described by Laube in WS as deliciously pure and complex, with ripe, rich black cherry and raspberry fruit that's spicy and detailed. Deftly balanced. The finish features a minerally edge and a creamy oak overlay, which leaves this mouthwatering. Tastings of the Peay note that "aromas of Rainier cherries, fennel, cardamom, earth and minerals dominate the bouquet entirely in this vintage. The concentrated flavors of wild berries, cola, minerals and fresh cardamom are complemented by the lingering tannin and long finish. All four wines showcase site specific character, and you can only get this phenomenal selection of boutique wines here.
