2010 Wren Hop Vineyards The Fire Messenger Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
14.6% alc., pH 3.80, 100 cases, $62. Grapes sourced from Wren Hop and
Gap’s Crown vineyards. Swan clone. Aged 11 months in 100% new French oak
barrels.
·
Moderate reddish-purple color in the glass. Appealing scents of black
cherries, black raspberries and spice. A full mouth of luxurious black fruits with
accents of cola and dark chocolate. This wine displays much better acidity and
good integration of oak, and has a very seductive soft, velvety mouth feel. Very
good for its style.
