2009 Willowbrook Kaufman Sunnyslope Vineyard Sonoma Mountain Pinot Noir
14.4% alc., 192 cases, $42. Released July 2011. This vineyard is
located between the Silver Pines and Van der Kamp vineyards in the western
corner of Sonoma Mountain. 7 acres of Dijon clones and clone 23. The site
receives 180-degree intense sun and intense winds in the afternoons.
·
Moderate reddish-purple hue in the glass. Alluring aromas of red cherries and
red raspberries with hints of spice, toasted brioche and rose petals. Medium
weighted flavors of red cherries and raspberries echo the aromas with
supporting oak in the background. Nicely spiced with an appealing savory
edge. Well-structured with fine grain tannins suggesting age ability.
Very Good.
