While each site contributes something very individual, the result in this final blend is a complex, balanced wine that speaks clearly of its cool-climate origins. Winemaking & Cellar Information The clusters were de-stemmed without crushing, bringing a high proportion of whole berries to the fermentor in an attempt to enhance the black-fruit characteristics in the wine. Fermentations were conducted in small 1½ or 5-ton open-top fermentors, following a 72-hour cold soak period, with punch downs by hand 2-4 times daily, according to the rate of fermentation. The wines were pressed off at dryness using our gentle basket press, with the wine running directly to barrel; about 20% new, and with a small proportion of American oak in the blend. The wine spent 18 months in barrel, prior to bottling in March of 2005. Analytical Information Alcohol: 14.5% T.A.: 5.70 g/L pH: 3.73 Brix at Harvest: 25.1 Tasting Notes Rich, ruby color. Classic cool-climate aromatics of white pepper and spice with intense cassis and black-plum flavors. Round tannins and supple mid-palate with a long, lingering finish. <LI>SKU: 1514 Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Category9" TITLE="Library Wines">Library Wines</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Product78 TITLE="Pinot Noir Vertical 4-pack ">Pinot Noir Vertical 4-pack </A> -- 1999-2002 Pinot Noir Vertical 4-pack <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Product80 TITLE="Syrah Vertical 4-pack ">Syrah Vertical 4-pack </A> -- 1999-2002 Syrah Vertical 4-pack <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Product79 TITLE="Chardonnay Vertical 4-pack ">Chardonnay Vertical 4-pack </A> -- 2001-2004 Chardonnay Vertical 4-pack <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Product75 TITLE="2000 Tolosa Pinot Noir">2000 Tolosa Pinot Noir</A> -- Ripe, black fruits, with delicate hints of cinnamon and rose petal. <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Product74 TITLE="2001 Tolosa Pinot Noir">2001 Tolosa Pinot Noir</A> -- Aromatic notes of rose petal and black fruit leap out of the glass. <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Product73 TITLE="2002 Tolosa Pinot Noir">2002 Tolosa Pinot Noir</A> -- Brooding, floral, raspberry and cherry aroma with a hint of mocha. <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Product2 TITLE="2003 Tolosa Pinot Noir">2003 Tolosa Pinot Noir</A> -- 91 points Wine Enthusiast, Silver Medal SF Chronicle 2007 <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Product77 TITLE="1999 Tolosa Syrah">1999 Tolosa Syrah</A> -- Assertive aroma of berries with notes of black pepper. <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Product76 TITLE="2001 Tolosa Syrah">2001 Tolosa Syrah</A> -- Nice density of color, with aromas of spice, white pepper, violet and aged has given it a good texture. <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Product53 TITLE="2004 Tolosa Pinot Noir 750ml">2004 Tolosa Pinot Noir 750ml</A> -- Quintessential cool-climate Pinot Noir, with crushed rose petal, dried cherry and orange zest aromatics. <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Product70 TITLE="2001 Tolosa Chardonnay">2001 Tolosa Chardonnay</A> -- Vanilla bean and coconut flavors with a rich mouthfeel. <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Product71 TITLE="2002 Tolosa Chardonnay">2002 Tolosa Chardonnay</A> -- Mature, sweet mouth with a great texture. <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Product5 TITLE="2003 Tolosa Chardonnay">2003 Tolosa Chardonnay</A> -- 92 points, Editors Choice in Wine Enthusiast Top 100 in 2005! <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Product3 TITLE="2004 Tolosa Chardonnay">2004 Tolosa Chardonnay</A> -- 91 Points, Wine Enthusiast <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Product69 TITLE="2003 Tolosa Chardonnay (No Oak)">2003 Tolosa Chardonnay (No Oak)</A> -- After aging has a honey, nuttiness flavor with a sweet texture. <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Product4 TITLE="2004 Tolosa Chardonnay (No Oak)">2004 Tolosa Chardonnay (No Oak)</A> -- 90 Points Wine Enthusiast <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa" TITLE="Tolosa Winery Products">Tolosa Winery Products</A> <A HREF="http://www.tolosawinery.com">Tolosa Winery</A> Tolosa Winery <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce software">ecommerce software</A> powered by Nexternal
