Note di degustazione
Brought up in 45% new French oak, the 2017 Pinot Noir Bootlegger's Hill Vineyard reveals a medium ruby/translucent color as well as a complex bouquet of redcurrants, leafy herbs, damp earth, iodine, and spice. Medium to full-bodied, with an elegant texture, lots of classic Russian River spice, and outstanding length. it shows the more elegant streamlined style of the vintage, yet I suspect it's going to age gracefully. Give bottles 2-3 years and it should keep for a decade.

Aged 19 months in 70% new, mostly Austrian oak, the 2017 Chardonnay Bootlegger's Hill has an inviting nose of honeycomb, baked quince, candied peaches, lilac and roasted hazelnuts with accents of dried hay, stone, pastry crust, baked apples and a classy framing of new oak spices. It's medium to full-bodied, rounded and silky in texture with intense flavor layers split between tangy acidity and savory honey-nut character, finishing very long. This is beautiful! 225 cases produced, to be released in the summer of 2020.
This cooler site delivers a very powerful style with a ripe array of yellow citrus fruit, white peaches and nectarines, as well as baking spices and nougat. The palate has such intensity and succulent fruit and delivers mouthwatering dryness on the finish. The zesty, enlivened finish is phenomenal. Drink or hold.
