2009 Joseph Jewell Appian Way Vineyards Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
13.6% alc., pH 3.47, TA 0.65,
125 cases, $45. The 2-acre Appian Way Vineyard is located just outside the town of Forestville and was
planted in 2001 on a former organic apple orchard site. The clones are 115, 777 and Pommard, rooted in
Goldridge soil. Tom and Kelly Keegan are the owners. 100% de-stemmed. Aged 10 months in 20% new
Francois Frères French oak barrels.
·
Moderate reddish-purple color in the glass. A highly nuanced perfume
jumps out of the glass with scents of black cherries, nutmeg, baking spice and leaf. Tasty black cherry core
with a modest attack, finishing short with a slight floral undertone. The tannins are dry, firm and reserved, and
the wine is easy to drink. Good (+).
