VALERIE'S VINEYARD 10 PN
TASTING PANEL MAGAZINE 90 POINTS - "Fresh, ripe and vibrant with bright cherry and raspberry fruit; tangy and long with focus and style."The 8th vintage, the 2010 Valerie's Vineyard Pinot Noir continues where each previous vintage left off, incredible! Valerie's one-acre Carneros vineyard is really coming of age and we think that vintage to vintage this one is another winner. The winemaking and attention to detail has never been better. They had solid success with the 2009 which received great press scoring 90 points in the Pinot Report, Pinot File and from Burghound.
The 2010 vintage extols a rich velvety mouth-feel and well balanced fruit, oak and tannis. The cherry/plum flavors blend with traditional Burgundian nuisances such as cola and tea. The French oak program of new and two-year old French oak from numerous makers has created a unique flavor profile and aging regimen. The wine lives no less than 18 months in the oak. With consistent winemaking and vineyard practices, the terroir of this one-acre vineyard has taken hold.
There were only 58 cases produced of the 2010 vintage so get this while you can!
