2010 Chloe Creek Russian River Valley Leras Family Vineyard
GOLD MEDAL WINNER
Cooperage: 16 months French Oak, 33% new
Bottled: January, 2011
Release Date: April 2012
TASTING NOTES: |
DOWNLOAD |
Intensely flavored core of dark fruit reminiscent of cranberry and black cherries. The nose is all brambly blackberry and loamy forest strawberries with a little toasty bacon and cedar wood. The high acidity of this cool vintage really pushes the phenolic core of the wine out of that sometime plush, ripe California Pinot style. This lends the wine a refined austerity or elegance that is seen in only great pinot years. Because of the concentration of fruit and ample structure in this wine it is being barrel aged for an additional 6 months. This one's a sleeper that will reward the patient owner that lays it down for a few years. Otherwise, DECANT! |

Deep ruby red in color, the bouquet opens with Huckleberry coulis and black cherry followed with charcuterie and cedar. This pinot boasts incredibly concentrated red and dark fruit that lingers, silky textured on the palate. A wine capable of long term ageing, every sip offers new nuance.

Vibrant pale yellow tinged with green, the color of this wine displays its unique qualities at first glance. The nose is fragrant with lemon oil, crushed almonds and orange blossom. The palate is complex but well structured with racy acidity, tempered with unctuous texture. Flavors of toasted hazelnut and granny smith apple seamlessly meld with a lemon lavender crème brûlée finish. The mouth feel is quite lush considering the bright acidity and structure. |
