This wine has been a favorite with our customers every year. The 2007 vintage was sensational and the 2008 follows right on its heels. It comes from several vineyards including the Martaella vineyard at the winery and the Petersen vineyard south of Sebastopol. The fruit is picked very early in the morning and rigorously hand sorted prior to destemming, after which it is sorted again prior to fermentation. Only beautiful berries go into this wine. Intense aromas of dark plum, black cherry and East Indian spices introduce this powerful and intense Pinot Noir. On the palate the wine's juicy mouthfeel is supported by centered acidity building through the mid-palate to the fine grain tannins on the finish. This wine bears Mike Sullivan's trademark of impeccable balance with precision and opulence. Buy it by the case for years of delicious indulgence.
