What to Expect

California has long struggled with Pinot Noir. Finding the right vineyards for this most fickle of grape, one that enjoys a cool growing season yet needs warmth close to harvest to fully ripen, has proven a challenge in such a sunny state. Cooler areas eventually became identified; the Santa Rita Hills, Russian River Valley and Mendocino's Anderson valley are all prime spots for Pinot Noir in California. Unlike the lighter colored and sometimes delicate Pinots of Burgundy, California produces many rich, deep Pinots full of slightly chewy dark berry and cherry fruits with hints of cola, Asian spices and forest floor frequently adding complexity.

Some black spice and black fruit, but a bit muted on the nose. The mouth feel was plush and a touch dirty. Some black fruit and vanilla on the palate. A touch bitter with good acidity. I liked this one a lot.

Tasting Notes - Located in Anderson Valley near the town of Philo, the Hein Family Vineyard was planted between 1997-1999. The gentle south/southwest slope and cool growing climate provide the perfect conditions for growing amazing Pinot Noir, and the combination of Pommard and three Dijon clones enhances the complexity and depth of this wine. Deep, dark fruit and brooding intensity stand out as hallmarks of this vineyard, and are accompanied by great structure, concentration, and balance.
