2007 Greenwood Ridge Vineyards Mendocino Ridge Pinot Noir
13.8% alc., 875 cases, $30. Barrel for 8 months. Estate
bottled.
·
Moderate color. Clean aromas of mineral-infused
cherries and berries, with some wooded forest in the
background. Demure ripe strawberry and cherry flavors with a
hint of vinous spice rack, sandalwood and smoke. Light and
silky in the mouth with a memorable persistent raspberry note
on the finish. Plenty of Pinot bang for the buck.

2007 Greenwood Ridge Vineyards Mendocino Ridge Pinot Noir
13.8% alc., pH 3.69, 875 cases, $30. Released in the
winter 2009. Aged 8 months in French oak barrels. Very cool
etched bottle.
·
Brimming with black cherry essence in the
aromas and flavors with a hint of mocha and savory herbs.
The fruit really clings to the palate through the vibrant finish.
Mild but well-structured tannins give the wine a presence. Year in and year
out, one of the best values in Anderson Valley Pinot Noir, or any North
American Pinot Noir for that matter. Highly recommended.
