2009 La Rochelle Conzelman Vineyard Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.6% alc., 115 cases, $48. Released
July 14, 2012. Clones 115 and 777. Aged 28 months in 60% new, 20% second use and 20% American oak.
·
Medium reddish-purple color in the glass. Savory nose with aromas of forest floor, stem and cherry with a
touch of chemical peeking out. Slightly confected cherry flavor with an underlying savory herb riff. Moderately
light in weight with mild sandy tannins, finishing very dry and herbal. Decent.

2006 Harmonique Elegancé Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.1% alc., pH 3.55, TA 0.65, 675 cases, $36.50,
released spring 2011. Winemaker Robert Klindt. Aged 19 months in 70% new French oak barrels, and aged in
bottle until release. Four vineyard sources (Conzelman Vineyard Old Block, 21% Cerise Vineyard, 16.5%
Wiley Vineyard and 12.5% Klindt Vineyard). 7 Pinot Noir clones.
·
Very light in weight, featuring red cherry and
berry flavors with underpinnings of oak and savory herbs. Fruit has faded and is swallowed up by tannin. I
have had this wine before and do not believe this was a representative bottle. Withhold judgment.

2005 Harmonique Elegancé Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.6% alc., 215
cases, $49.50. Inaugural vintage for this bottling. Harvested at 24.3º Brix.
Sourced in small part from the Day Ranch Vineyard but primarily the Conzelman
(formerly Rose Family) Vineyard. The Old Block (24 years old) of the
Conzelman Vineyard consists of 4 acres of cordon pruned Martini clone. Yields
were less than 2 tons per acre.
·
Darkest in color of the three 2005 Pinot Noirs.
Hi-tone aromas of plums, raisins, sage and a hint of oak. Rich and ripe flavored
dark fruits with notes of raisin, anise and Snicker’s bar, supple tannins, a silky
and smooth texture, and a bright finish flush with tangerine peel. The oak is
nicely integrated and the brisk acidity makes you reach for another sip.
