2008 Mount Eden Vineyards Domaine Eden Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir
15.0% alc., $32. This wine
can easily be confused with Mount Eden Estate which is a horse of a different color. This is a newer brand
from Mount Eden Vineyards that resulted from the purchase of the Cinnabar Winery and Vineyard (but not the
brand or inventory) in late 2007. The main reason for the purchase was to acquire the winery because Mount
Eden had outgrown its limited production facility. Most of the Domaine Eden Vineyard is planted to Pinot Noir.
Since the soils are different, the Pinot Noir from Domaine Eden is completely different from the Mount Eden
Pinot Noir even though it is vinified by the long time Mount Eden winemaker, Jeffrey Patterson.
·
Moderate
reddish-purple color in the glass. The nose features aromas of slightly roasted darker fruits with oak-driven
scents of tobacco, black tea and old cask. Fruity and linear offering black plum, blackberry jam, Concord grape
and raisin flavors. An awkward overripe fruited wine that disappoints. Decent at best.
