EXPRESSION 39 PINOT NOIR

2007 Anderson Valley, CA
Annahala Vineyard. An early budbreak, warmer weather in mid-August, and very cool weather from early September through harvest characterized this classic vintage. The long hang times resulted in pristine fruit of perfect ripeness, great flavor intensity and silky tannins. The cold picked fruit was destemmed, after which whole berries underwent a prolonged cold soak, followed by gentle fermentation in small batches. The effusive young wine was then rested in French oak barrels (one third new) to deepen and add refinement. This blockbuster Pinot Noir, which will be bottled in early September of 2008, demonstrates thrilling intensity, hedonistic ripeness and perfect pitch.
