2010 Soliste Forêt Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
14.1% alc., 149 cases, $85. Clone 23 (Mariafeld).
Mariafeld clone came to the US from the government agriculture research station in Wädenswil,
Switzerland in 1966. Infrequently bottled as a stand-alone clone. From Guidicci Vineyard in
Occidental.
·
Medium reddish-purple color in the glass. Very clean, bright and fresh aromas of black
cherries and potpourri. The wine delivers a delicious mouthful of dark berry and black cherry fruit,
expanding on the palate with nuance and class, and finishes with a statement. A subtle cola and
earthy accent add interest. Juicy, with soft tannins. When tasted a day after opening and re-corked the,
wine was still pumping out Pinot goodness.

2010 Soliste L’Ambroisie Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
12.8% alc., 23 cases, $100 (sold out). Clone 828 from
Guidicci Vineyard in Occidental. Tasted a day after opening from a re-corked bottle.
·
Moderate reddish-purple
color in the glass. Red fruits are featured in the nose and on the palate. An acid-driven wine that is more
austere than the Soliste Forêt with less ripe fruit flavors including red cherry and cranberry, finishing with a
cleansing riff of citrus. A very pretty, elegant wine with gossamer tannins. If the Forêt is akin to a leather
jacket, this wine is more like a silk shirt. Very good.
