It is always a “larger than life” Pinot, and we always needed it for the Auction Block Pinot noir blend to give that wine its weight and strength. But is has always and ever been exciting. Well, we finally got off the stick and bottled this wine separately, under its own vineyard designate, something which the wine, and Chuck, hugely deserve! Tasting notes: Bacon fat, meaty, smoky, pepper and savory spice, with Santa Rosa plum evolving on the nose as the wine receives air-time. Mouth has dark and bittersweet chocolate, with a terrific overarching mouthfeel that spreads its larger-than-life but pliable tannins from start to finish, making your mouth “buzz” with flavors!! A departure from your average California Pinot, this wine speaks to the Mariafeld clone and the clay-loam site in spades! Technical Data: <ul> <li>Vineyard: Huichita Clay Loam forms the basic soil structure of this terroir, which is smack-dab in the middle of the Russian River Valley. Row orientation is uncharacteristically East-West, but this allows Chuck to keep the sun-side of the vines always in good cover, with aggressive leaf-plucking on the shade side. The vineyard is entirely planted to the Swiss Clevner Mariafeld clone (UCD-23), which is known for its strength and bigness. Delivered!</li> <li>Harvest: This was a pretty trouble-free harvest, done in one pick at the end of September. The skins are thick on this clone, so we never have ANY trouble with Botrytis or any vine disease issues. Chuck likes a clean pick – again, delivered!</li> <li>Fermentation: Primary fermentation went smoothly and finished within a week of barreling down. Secondary fermentation also kicked off easily, meaning we could put this puppy to bed by Thanksgiving!</li> <li>Barrel aging: 11 months of aging in 40% new French oak, with the balance split between once- and twice-used barrels. New wood was from the tiny Burgundian cooper Billon and Francois Freres’ Hungarian concern, the Trust cooperage.</li> <li>Bottling technical information of 184 cases of this Russian River classic:</li> <ul> <li>pH: 3.69</li> <li>TA: 6.1 g/L</li> <li>15.1% alcohol</li> <li>Residual sugar: 0.05% (almost impossibly dry)</li> <li>Appellation: Russian River Valley</li> </ul> </ul> <LI>SKU: T707PNHR Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/tandem/Category1" TITLE="Current Releases">Current Releases</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tandem/Product79 TITLE="2007 Ferrington Vineyard Gewurztraminer">2007 Ferrington Vineyard Gewurztraminer</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tandem/Product78 TITLE="2007 Manchester Ridge Vineyard Pinot noir">2007 Manchester Ridge Vineyard Pinot noir</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tandem/Product71 TITLE="2005 Porter-Bass Chardonnay">2005 Porter-Bass Chardonnay</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tandem/Product69 TITLE="2006 Lorenzo Chardonnay">2006 Lorenzo Chardonnay</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tandem/Product66 TITLE="2006 Manchester Ridge Chardonnay">2006 Manchester Ridge Chardonnay</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tandem/Product67 TITLE="2006 Sangiacomo Chardonnay">2006 Sangiacomo Chardonnay</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tandem/Product59 TITLE="2005 Kent Ritchie Chardonnay">2005 Kent Ritchie Chardonnay</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tandem/Product83 TITLE="2006 Kent Ritchie Chardonnay">2006 Kent Ritchie Chardonnay</A> -- SILVER MEDAL - 2009 San Francisco International Wine Competition <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tandem/Product85 TITLE="2006 Porter-Bass Chardonnay">2006 Porter-Bass Chardonnay</A> -- NEW RELEASE! <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tandem/Product42 TITLE="2004 Porter-Bass Chardonnay">2004 Porter-Bass Chardonnay</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tandem/Product47 TITLE="2005 Lorenzo Chardonnay">2005 Lorenzo Chardonnay</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tandem/Product73 TITLE="2005 Aldine Zinfandel">2005 Aldine Zinfandel</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tandem/Product74 TITLE="2006 Van der Kamp Pinot Noir">2006 Van der Kamp Pinot Noir</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tandem/Product76 TITLE="2007 Van der Kamp Pinot Meunier">2007 Van der Kamp Pinot Meunier</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tandem/Product68 TITLE="2006 Auction Block Pinot noir">2006 Auction Block Pinot noir</A> -- SILVER MEDAL - 2009 SF Int'l Wine Competition & 92 POINTS-Wine News <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tandem/Product72 TITLE="2006 Sangiacomo Pinot Noir">2006 Sangiacomo Pinot Noir</A> -- GOLD MEDAL - 2009 SF Int'l Wine Competition & 93 POINTS-Wine News <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tandem/Product70 TITLE="2006 Silver Pines Pinot Noir">2006 Silver Pines Pinot Noir</A> -- 93 POINTS - Wine News (August Edition 2009) <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tandem/Product62 TITLE="2006 Van der Kamp Pinot Meunier">2006 Van der Kamp Pinot Meunier</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tandem/Product82 TITLE="2007 Auction Block Pinot Noir">2007 Auction Block Pinot Noir</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tandem/Product86 TITLE="2007 Van der Kamp Pinot Noir">2007 Van der Kamp Pinot Noir</A> -- NEW RELEASE! <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tandem/Product75 TITLE="2006 Peloton Red Wine">2006 Peloton Red Wine</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tandem/Product40 TITLE="2004 Aldine Zinfandel">2004 Aldine Zinfandel</A> <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/tandem" TITLE="Tandem Winery Products">Tandem Winery Products</A> <A HREF="http://www.tandemwinery.com">Tandem Winery</A> Tandem Winery <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce software">ecommerce software</A> powered by Nexternal
