2006 Pinot Noir - La Encantada Vineyard, Sta. Rita Hills
Clones 667 and Swan are combined in the ’06 La Encantada bottling, aged in a combination of both new and used French oak barrels. Luxuriant, dark and supple, packed with vivid ripe berry flavors, a deep smoky plumminess, and slick balanced tannins, the wine promises a very rewarding future (although the present is quite nice as well).
Wonderful with grilled or roasted game; mushrooms and Tasso pasta; paprika-rubbed pork ribs; lamb chops; etc.
Case production: 1,300
Price: $49 per bottle, $529.20 per case
