2009 La Rochelle Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.1% alc., 55 cases, $42. Released August 3, 2012.
100% Pommard clone grown on the Dutton’s Campbell Ranch with a small amount of Mission Ranch Swan
selection blended in. Aged 17 months in 100% second used French oak barrels.
·
Moderate reddish-purple
color in the glass. Nicely perfumed with aromas of fresh picked black cherries, black raspberries, rose petals
and spice. Deep, but not overbearing flavors of Bing cherries and cola, caressed by soft tannins, infused with
vim by bright acidity, and offering a lengthy memory of cherries on the finish. Quintessential Russian River
Valley Pinot Noir and one of the better appellation wines from that region on the market. Very good (+).

2009 La Rochelle Dutton Ranch Campbell Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.2% alc., 142 cases, $48. Pommard clone.
·
Moderately deep reddish-purple color in the glass. Bright aromas of dark
cherries, sage, spice and potpourri really draw you into the glass.
Delicious (written twice in my notes) cherry bombast with subtle accents
of edible roses, spice and mocha. Discreetly concentrated mouthful of
Pinot with supple tannins and an incredible finish featuring extravagant ripe
cherry fruit. In three words, flat out great.

Coast. Clone 777. Aged 18 months in 33% new French oak barrels.

Decent.
