2005 Gloria Ferrer Gravel Knob Vineyard Carneros Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., 210 cases.
·
Dreamy
perfume of crushed black cherries, flowers, oak and hay. Substantial raspberry attack on the palate.
Softly textured throughout with powdery tannins and a clean and tangy finish. A pleasure to drink and
definitely preferable to the 2004 bottling from this vineyard.

2004 Gloria Ferrer Gravel Knob Vineyard Carneros Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., 347 cases, $40. Sourced from a rocky part of Home Ranch
with well-drained soils. Comar 538 and clone 32.
·
Requires some time
in the glass to open revealing wild berry, black cherry, oak and hay
scents. Dusty dark fruits, earth, tobacco and herbs lend interest. Very
soft in the mouth. A bit sour on the finish. I could not warm up to this one.
