Chalone Vineyard Pinot Noir

Chalone Vineyard Pinot Noir Wine Details
Price: $26.00 per bottle

Description: The new Pinot Noir clones, planted in 1997, are starting to show their potential with the 2004 vintage. The wine is darkly colored and amazingly opulent, with fantastic fruit intensity leaning toward red cherries and strawberries. Firm in body, with bigger tannins and a bit more rustic than the 2003, this wine has amazing texture and length of finish. The ten months it spent in French oak integrated the fruit and tannins into a truly hedonistic glass of wine.
