Note di degustazione
Still vibrant ruby-colored, the 2007 Pinot Noir Terraces is a smoking good Pinot Noir! Red currants, toasted spice, dried herbs and hints of dusty soil flow to a medium to full-bodied, fresh, elegant and beautifully polished, pure, balanced red that will keep for another decade or more. This 2007 also comes all from the estate Melville Vineyard, saw roughly 40% whole clusters and 25% new French oak. These are terrific wines from Greg Brewer.

Vivid red. A pungent nose is dominated by black raspberry and candied cherry, along with violet, black tea and a whiff of candied rose. Sappy flavors of crushed red and black fruits are initially closed and quite tangy, revealing little easy sweetness. Gains sweetness on the finish, which is focused and very pure. This is the most closed of this set right now but is very promising.
Black raspberry, black currant, cherry, camphor, and incense aromas jump from the glass of the dark ruby/purple-tinged 2007 Pinot Noir Terraces. An ethereal texture, multiple dimensions, fine purity, good acidity, and a layered mouthfeel suggest it should drink well for a decade. Melville’s six Pinot Noir cuvees are all noteworthy. With the exception of the Verna’s Vineyard wines, which come from Los Alamos, the other five are all made from different parcels of the same vineyards in the Santa Rita Hills, with various density of plantings as well as clonal choices.
