2007 Chasseur Sexton Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.3% alc., 200
cases, $55. From the Cornerstone Vineyard on Sexton Road planted by James
Pratt to clones 113, 114, 115, 777 and 828 in 2000. The vineyard is 500 feet
above the town of Freestone.
·
Unusual aromatic profile featuring black raspberry
jam, dried mustard, fennel and Chinese Five-spice. Discreetly concentrated fruit
core of berries and perfectly ripe plums that coats the mouth with a velvety
richness. Hard to stop drinking this smooth and sensual wine. Very good (+).

2005 Chasseur Sexton Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.1% alc., 150 cases, $60 (sold out). This
wine is a collaboration between Bill Hunter and grower James Pratt. Dijon clones 113, 114, 115, 777,
and 828. Aged 15 months in oak.
·
Hi-toned and complex aromas of crushed black cherries, smoke, tobacco,
herbs (sage), grass, and a hint of warmth. This wine shows the burly and primal side of Pinot Noir
with intense and super ripe dark fruits (even tending to raisin and prune flavors), wrapped in a earthy,
mushroom flavored cloak. The finish retains some lively acidity and lingers for a very long time. This one
leans toward the Cab camp and will appeal to lovers of ripe fruit flavors.
