2001 Cottonwood Canyon Estate Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir
14.91% alc., 709 cases, $39. The
first entire vintage where the wine was left for 18 months on the lees in unopened French oak barrels.
Aged for 20 months in barrel. From the estate’s Sharon’s Vineyard and Elizabeth’s Vineyard. Just released!
·
Light ruby in color. Earthy scents of wet leaves, hay, charcoal, minerals and a little toast. Red
stone fruits, earth and wood shed, smoke, pepper and spice and everything nice. Elegant with fine grained
tannins. An interesting and charming drink.

18 months in French oak. Clones 2A and Freedom.

Herbs, light oak, wild berries and earthy notes
in the nose are echoed in the flavors. Light in body with plenty of finesse. A lip-smacker that is easy to

2000 Cottonwood Canyon Estate Pinot Noir
14.37% alc., 600 cases, $39.
Sharon’s Vineyard and Elizabeth’s Vista Vineyard. Aged in 50% new oak.
·
Very slight orange-tinged rim. Bright crushed berries with a little raisin note
make for pleasing aromatics. A bit rustic for me with soft berry and red stone
fruits with a pastry dough and almond sidecar. Not my cup of tea.
