2007 Heart O’ The Mountain Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir
14.8% alc., pH 3.56, 490 cases,
$48. Clones 777, 667 and Pommard. Aged 18 months in French oak.
·
Medium garnet color. Deep, dark, very ripe fruit perfume
with hints of forest floor and sawdust. A big gulp of purple fruit (black plums,
elderberries, blackberries) that dances lightly on the palate, drinking easily by
virtue of mild fine-grain tannins. The sweet, velvety mouthful of fruit will find appeal. A faint hint of alcohol peaks out on the finish. Very good.
