2012 Hiatus Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, Griffin’s Lair Vineyard
($50btl - 150cs Produced)
Just the perfect blocks of Pomard and Clone 667 from Griffin’s Lair Vineyard were used to create this “Clos Vogeot” style Pinot Noir. Based on 90% free run juice for its elegance, depth and complexity, we then added 10% press juice to ensures we have the structure to age well while allowing the vineyard to fully express its subtle nuances. Aromas of spiced cherries, raspberries and a touch of smokiness invite you to enjoy this richly textured, garnet hued gem. A weighty, elegant and velvety mid-palate carry through the red fruits with a touch of spice and toasty oak subtly framing its powerful depth. A long finish permeates your palate with a complex blend of red berries and spice. A decadent glass to enjoy on its own, it’s rich and complex flavor make it a fantastic partner to a simply seasoned filet mignon, duck, pork belly, or a cedar planked Coho salmon filet. |
