| Cyprus Pinot on the Deck overlooking Mt. Tam |
yeah, you are and you know it. I am too when I can afford the Burgundy producers I so love to collect and drink...but here's a real "drink now and enjoy" Pinot Noir from the Sonoma Coast AVA for only $35 a bottle.
I've been singing the praises of the 2010 Cyprus Pinot Noir all Summer and Fall, but think this beautifully well balanced bottle (low-octane!) of Pinot is drinking truly spectacular right now. From our website...2010 Cyprus Pinot Noir
Aged in 85% neutral French oak, this Pinot reveals a nose of dark fruits
with forest floor accents and a sublte earth spice. Hints of exotic
spices come forward on the palate, which is silken and focused. The
Pinot hails from the Sangiacomo Amaral Ranch vineyard on the southern
Sonoma Coast (just above the San Pablo Bay) and Tobias Glen, located in
the southwestern part of the Russian River Valley.
Both sites experience
the moderating effects of a cool, ocean-influenced microclimate to
produce low yields of bright, fragrant fruit with excellent flavor concentration. The 2010 vintage was very cool, but the vines enjoyed a
long growing season, yielding perfectly ripened fruit with bright
acidity.
Less than 400 cases produced. I'm looking forward to opening this bottle tomorrow with family over Thanksgiving Dinner.
Cheers & Happy Holidays, let the wine flow! - Ali
