Believe it or not, this is the longest lineage on our continent. What can one say after an historic run like this?<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">2006 was a strong vintage. The winter was cold with adequate rainfall and good fruit set in the spring. What really sets up the vintage quality, however, is the weather in the fall during the final ripening; 2006 was text book with a long, slow, cool finish. 1991 was a vintage of similar style. My library has precious few bottles left of that stand-out year.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This pinot has lovely transparency in the aromas&#8212;red berries, oriental spices and earth; medium weight on the palate with fine delineation of raspberry-plum flavors with firm acidity and length, all but guarantee grace and longevity.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p></p> <p style="" class="MsoNormal"><i style=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Total production: <span style="">&nbsp;</span>846 <span style="">&nbsp;</span>cases</span></i><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p> </P> <P> <LI>SKU: NV8 <LI>Select Size: 750ml; 1.5 Liter</P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Category1" TITLE="Current Releases">Current Releases</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Product30 TITLE="2005 Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon, Santa Cruz Mountains">2005 Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon, Santa Cruz Mountains</A> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Product33 TITLE="2007 Edna Valley Chardonnay, Wolff Vineyard">2007 Edna Valley Chardonnay, Wolff Vineyard</A> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Product35 TITLE="2007 Monterey County Chardonnay, Arroyo Seco">2007 Monterey County Chardonnay, Arroyo Seco</A> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Product24 TITLE="2006 Saratoga Cuv&#233;e Chardonnay, Santa Cruz Mountains">2006 Saratoga Cuvée Chardonnay, Santa Cruz Mountains</A> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Product28 TITLE="2006 Saratoga Cuv&#233;e Pinot Noir, Santa Cruz Mountains">2006 Saratoga Cuvée Pinot Noir, Santa Cruz Mountains</A> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Product34 TITLE="2005 Saratoga Cuv&#233;e Cabernet Sauvignon, Santa Cruz Mountains">2005 Saratoga Cuvée Cabernet Sauvignon, Santa Cruz Mountains</A> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Product9 TITLE="Great Wines of America, By Paul Lukacs">Great Wines of America, By Paul Lukacs</A> -- A note worthy new book by Paul Lukacs, profiles forty vintners (Mount Eden included) which represent the pinnacle of American wine. <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Product32 TITLE="Vineyards in the Sky: The Life of Legendary Vintner Martin Ray">Vineyards in the Sky: The Life of Legendary Vintner Martin Ray</A> -- Vineyards in the Sky is the lively biography of Martin Ray, the charismatic California vintner who launched America's Wine Revolution. </P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden" TITLE="Mount Eden Vineyards Products">Mount Eden Vineyards Products</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.mounteden.com">Mount Eden Vineyards</A> <BR>Mount Eden Vineyards <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="shopping cart">shopping cart</A> powered by Nexternal
