2004 Corda Vineyards Marin County Pinot Noir
The Corda family is the largest grape
grower in Marin County with 50 acres of vineyards and have been ranchers in Marin County since
1884. Brothers David and Hank Corda dissolved the family’s dairy business in 1987 and now concentrate
on the vineyards. The 2001 vintage came from Devil’s Gulch Ranch, but the winery is now committed
to retaining more of its estate grapes for the family’s namesake label and the 2004 is at least
partly from the vineyard’s own grapes.
·
Both vintages are similar in style. Elegant, light in color and alcohol
(13.9%), they feature a soft texture and nuances of spice and vanilla.
