2006 Marin 'Corda Family' Pinot Noir -- Thomas Fogarty Winery Shopping Cart
$40.00
Vintage
2006 featured one of the longest growing seasons in recent memory. Fantastic weather during bloom left us with a real crop on the vines, something quite different than 2005. The longer cool growing season was ideal for producing lovely aromatics and silky textures, real hallmarks for us in 2006. These are not the most structured or “big” wines we have produced but do feature a much more feminine personality with loads of charm.
Vineyards
The 2006 Pinot Noir, Corda Family Pinot Noir was sourced entirely from the Corda Family’s vineyard in the Chileno Valley area, west of Petaluma in western Marin County. This area features one of the longest growing seasons in California.
Tasting Notes
Our first foray into North Coast Pinot Noir in many years (Since our last Winery Lake Pinot Noir in 1990), our 2006 Corda Family, Marin County stands as a classic example of “Petaluma Gap” Pinot. Über- fragrant, with wild cherry, pomegranate and brown spice notes the nose continues to develop especially with a vigorous decant (highly recommended if consuming in its youth). Like all of our 2006 Pinots the texture is all silk and velvet with just enough grip to keep things interesting. This wine seems like a good candidate for mid-term cellaring, though it is drinking pretty swell in its youth.
Winemaking
Our 2006 Pinot Noir Corda Family was aged in 43% new French Oak for 10 months. This wine was aged sur-lie for the entire elevage, only being racked one time for bottling.
