Community Tasting Note

Thursday, June 10, 2021 - Wow, even better than I remember !! This wine is really tasting great right now !! I agree with my tasting notes of the past year, perhaps one notch up from my ratings last year, could be at peak. The cork was remarkably perfect after over a decade in the bottle. I consumed this delicious Pinot Noir over two days. Dark ruby color with little to no oxidation, clarity was medium. Aromas of pomegranate, cranberry, fresh fig, and black tea; flavors of black cherry, red fruit compote, rhubarb, glycerin, and forest floor with a medium to long finish. Popped and poured, this wine did not benefit from additional air since the fresh fruit flavors were replaced with dried fruit flavors on day two. This age worthy wine has many more years of life left. A very balanced flavorful Pinot Noir from Keefer Ranch Vineyard which was planted in 1988 by Marcy Keefer and her husband Robert. Keefer Ranch lies in the southwestern-most part of the Green Valley of Russian River Valley AVA, an area noted for its intense morning fog and sandy Goldridge soils. A great fruit source and a good winemaking effort from Ehren Jordon. I still have a bottle of this vintage remaining; I may open it soon to verify my rating.
