2009 Bailiwick Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.2% alc., pH 3.58, TA 0.64,
225 cases, $36. 57% Maurice Galante Vineyard located in the Green Valley of
Russian River Valley and 43% O’Neel Vineyard situated in the Santa Rosa plain.
Clones are 115, 777 and Pommard. Aged 17 months in 20% new French oak
barrels.
·
Moderately light reddish-purple hue in the glass. Enticing aromas of
dark red cherries, berry jam on toast and wooded forest. Medium-weighted
flavors of fresh cherries, cola, and leaf framed by soft tannins and bright acidity,
finishing with some persistence on the pleasing finish. Not impressive on the
attack, but leaves a good impression. Good (+).
