2011 Heart & Hands Hobbit Hollow Vineyard Finger Lakes Pinot Noir
12.1% alc., pH 3.79, TA 0.65, 24 cases, $30.99, Vino-Lok
closure. Vineyard is located on the shores of the western side of
Skaneateles Lake. Owner is Mike Falcone and vineyard manager is
Paul Wellington. Yields 1.4 tons per acre. 100% whole cluster. Aged
in Francois Frères French oak barrels. Unfiltered.
·
Light reddish-purple
color in the glass. An intriguing wine offering aromas of cherries, creme soda,
vanilla, and sandalwood. Light and elegant with flavors of fresh cherries, oak
vanillin, spice and bacon. Gentle, dry tannins and bright acidity make for easy
drinking. Still holding nicely two days later from a previously opened and recorked
bottle. Very good.
