Tasting Notes
Color: Brilliant, deep ruby red.
Nose: Shows depth and complexity. Beautiful, lovely notes of cherry cola. Hints of cranberry, plum, spice and touch of earth
Palate: Elegant mouthfeel - very lush and velvety with a wonderful balance and smoothness.
Cherry and black fruit flavors show through. The mid-palate exhibits a rich creaminess and blends nicely with a solid acid backbone to produce a long, lingering finish.
Overall: Elegant yet powerful. Great food wine. It is seductive! I love this wine!
About Hein Vineyard
Located just outside the town of Philo, the marine influence brings cool evenings and foggy mornings to create an ideal venue for growing outstanding Pinot Noir. This gently sloped vineyard was planted 13 years ago and is oriented with a south/southwest exposure, optimum placement to ripen fruit in this area. Yielding just 2 tons per acre, Hein is organically farmed and planted with 115, 667, 777 and Pommard clones. Tasting notes from previous vintages emphasize black cherry, acacia, earth and fine-grained tannins.
