2006 Claudia Springs Klindt Estate Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
A young
wine tasted briefly at the Grand Tasting. Fine texture, integrated tannins and a
lively acidity on the finish. Bob’s wines are built for the long haul - I had a 1996 vintage of this wine
at lunch at the event on Friday and it was startling fresh and tasty.

2006 Claudia Springs Klindt Estate Reserve Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
Like an honest reserve bottling, this is a step up. Deep on the palate and
packed with sweet cherry fruit, my brief taste left a lasting impression. A wine
to fawn over.

2006 Claudia Springs Winery Klindt Reserve Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.7%
alc, 223 cases, $35. Released May 2009. The six clones are picked and fermented
separately. After aging for 8 months in barrel, an initial blend is made from these lots
and returned to barrel for an additional 8-10 months. Aged in 40% new French oak
barrels. Of the 32 barrels in the cellar, 9 were chose for the Reserve blend at the end
of aging.
·
The nose is very pleasing showing cherries, cola, oak spice and a hint of
alcohol. Tasty core of cherry and cranberry fruit with mild ripe tannins and good grip
leading to a dry and refreshing finish. Reasonably priced and a good food wine.

2004 Claudia Springs Klindt Vineyard Estate Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.7%
alc., 300 cases, $24.
·
Appealing aromas of cherries and strawberries with plump
midpalate fruit. The wine’s rich Pinot extract is clothed in moderate tannins on the clean
finish.
