2009 Husch Knoll Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.3% alc., TA 0.56, 410
cases, $40, release July 1, 2012. Old vines originally planted in 1971, the first
Pinot Noir vines in Anderson Valley. The vines thrive in an outcropping of
sandstone with shale lenses, possessing excellent drainage. 75% de-stemmed,
25% whole cluster. Aged 17 months in 50% new French oak barrels.
·
Moderately deep reddish-purple robe. Heady aromas of dark red cherries and
berries with hints of spice and an earthy bent. Discreetly concentrated core of
spiced black cherries, wrapped in big-boned, ripe tannins typical of this site,
finishing with crispness and very impressive length. Considerable nuance lies
within this special wine. A connoisseur's wine. Very good (+).
