2008 Bricelands Vineyards Phelps Vineyard Humboldt County Pinot Noir
14.2% alc., 50 cases, $27. Phelps
Vineyard is located on Elk Ridge and is farmed by Pam and
Todd Phelps. Aged 1 year in French oak barrels. Unfined and
unfiltered.
·
Moderate reddish-purple hue in the glass.
Aromatically a bit shy initially, but builds in intensity over time in
the glass becoming rather flamboyant and displaying scents of
ripe, savory dark red fruits. Delicious, even striking, display of dark red stone
fruits that fan out on the palate with subtle notes of Asian spice and plum sauce.
Elegant and silky textured with remarkable persistence on the pleasing finish. A
steamy seductress.
