BOULDER BANK 10 PN
This Pinot Noir comes from a single vineyard on Hawkesbury Road in the Omaka area. As with all of Goldschmidt’s vineyard sites, this vineyard faces east and receives soft morning sun, which increases hangtime and ultimately complexity. Planted in 1999, these Dijon clones are cane-pruned to reduce yield and have separate shoots for maximum cluster exposure. The nose on this wine is loaded with fresh cherry fruit, cherry cola, a light peppery spice and touch of earth. The term “Burgundian” comes to mind upon smelling it. The palate is loaded with good, forward fruit, lush tannins and good depth. Cherry, tobaccco and black tea flavors lead the charge with touches of earth and blueberries closely following. A fairly good-sized wine, this will stand up to red meats easily. Very nice wine.
