14.1%
alc., 196 cases, $45. Released scheduled for September 2009. This vineyard was
planted between 1997 and 1999. Pommard and three Dijon clones.
·
Moderately deep
ruby color. The nose offers intense black fruit aromas. Richly flavored dark Pinot fruits

2007 Fulcrum Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.0% alc., 100 cases, $52. 50% Hein Family Vineyard and 50%
Hayley Vineyard. The clones are 115 and 777. Aged in 41% new French oak barrels for 14 months and in
bottle for 5 months. Unfined and unfiltered.
·
With urging the nose blossoms beautifully revealing hi-tone
aromas of ripe berry jam and wildflowers with a dusting of oak. The balance is admirable and the fine-grain
tannins provide a silky smooth texture that is very appealing. The flavor profile leans to raspberry and cherry
with a sidecar of oak. Plenty to like.

2006 Dain Wines Savage Juliet Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.3% alc., $48.
Sourced from the Hein Family Vineyard.
·
Moderately light in color. The nose is
thick with herbs, leaf, underbrush, oak smoke and camphor. Light in weight with
good acidity, the flavor profile leans to cherries and cranberries with a slight
chemical note. Smooth in the mouth. No special message but a decent drink.

2006 Fulcrum Wines Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.2% alc., 100 cases, $52. From three vineyards,
Akins, Hein Family, and Wentzel. Clones are Pommard, 115, 667 and 777. Aged 10 months in 41%
new French oak (Francois Frere and Seguin Moreau).
·
The wine leads off with aromas of cherries, raspberries,
herbs and newly mowed hay. Darker fruits dominate the flavor profile, with hints of raisin, spice and
wood. Plenty of acid, even a little tart on the finish, which also displays a fruity raspberry flavor. A very
respectable effort first time out.

Vineyard (Pommard), 25% Hein Vineyard (Pommard), 25% Wentzel Vineyard (Dijon 115, 667, 777).

The aromas of cherry cola and baking spice are very alluring. Nicely presented red cherry and cassis
fruit in a lighter and feminine style. Silky on the palate with lively acidity on a lip-smacking finish.
