WINERY NOTES:
Continuing in the style of prior vintages, our 2007 Pinot Noir "La Encantada Vineyard" again utilizes the two clones of 667 and Swan as our raw materials. The result is a plush wine that balances brilliant raspberry-like fruit tones with a deeper, darker, cherry-based note. There are floral and spice elements as well, notably violet and clove, as well as a smokiness and vanilla component from ageing in French Oak barrels. Very nice now, theis wine should only improve across the next three to four years. Serve as you would any classic Pinot, with roast or grilled duck, grilled veal chops, wild-mushroom risotto, etc.
