World Wine 2003 Sarah s Vineyard Pinot Noir Estate Reserve

Santa Clara Valley, California. Sarah s Vineyard Proprietor Tim Slater and Winemaker Dave Heiber are dedicated to low-yield grape growing, producing intense wines like this superb Pinot Noir Estate Reserve. Only 188 cases produced, unfined and unfiltered. Sarah s Vineyard Pinot Noir Estate Reserve is satin red in color with a nose of black cherry, black raspberry, vanilla, smoke, and earth notes. Medium-bodied with soft tannins, this elegant red offers rich flavors of cherries, black raspberries, vanilla, spice, and oak. Aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, 65% new, the wine is well balanced in fruit, acidity and tannins. It is palate-coating on the lingering finish.
