2007 Three Sticks Winery Durrell Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

14.7% alc., pH 3.60, 375 cases, $55. The proprietor of Durell Vineyard selects the finest blocks from the 130 acres of Durell Vineyard he owns to produce this wine. Clones 115 and 777. Aged 15 months in 50% new French oak barrels. · Alluring perfume of red fruits, grapes and roasted nuts. The discreetly concentrated sweet red berry core has an underpinning of earthiness and smoky oak. Soft and velvety on the palate, this charmer flaunts Pinot’s sensual side. A very Caliesque offering that will find many fans. Very good. Reviewed June 8, 2010
