Description:
For the 2008 vintage we added a one-acre block of Pommard clone that we felt had potential to make a solid "reserve" quality wine combined with our favorite half acre of Wädenswil and some 115 from the lower blocks. We farmed these blocks differently, with lower yields and added attention. In the barrel room, four barrels really stood out as just showing the potential to develop into a world-class pinot noir. While we aren't big fans of privilege and exclusivity, we decided to bottle these barrels separately as a limited quantity reserve. The result is an earthy wine with hints of tar complementing our characteristic cherry flavors and mouth-watering acidity. The fruit is 25 percent Pommard, 25 percent Wädenswil, 40 percent 115 and 10 percent Mariafeld. Harvest was October 15 and 27, 2008, with an average brix at harvest of 24.1. After fermentation, the wine was aged in small oak barrels for 10 months before bottling on September 23, 2009.
