Bread pudding and bananas foster, in liquid form at 107 proof.
Chewy, complex, opulent. Coats the mouth like a Speyside single malt (to a lesser degree) but more rewarding in its complexity. The style is similar to Blanton's but rather the fat southern matriarch that family who is always baking or giving you a spanking. — 13 years ago

Very jammy and sweet but absolutely delicious!!! Kinda weird talking about a slightly sweet Cabernet Sauvignon but it is really got a very nice rich stewed berry taste and its smooth. — 13 years ago

2008 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast Bella Vigna Vineyard
Winemaker's Vineyard

Notes: Steeply sloped (think black diamond for all you folks who snow ski), southeasterly facing hillside. Goldridge loam soils. Two-thirds 777 and a third Swan clone. Ton and a half to the acre. Harvested on October 3rd.
Winemaker's Tasting Notes: 100% French Oak, 40% new wood. Punch downs only. Indigenous yeast primary fermentation and natural completion of ML. Unfined, unfiltered. Lighter shade of ruby in color. Big, floral nose of rose petal, dark red fruits, sassafras tea, and soy. Secondary notes of pencil shavings, vanilla, and a touch of bacon fat. Full-bodied, rich flavors of baked berry pie, pomegranate, and baker's chocolate. Finishes super long with flavors of ripe cranberry and bacon fat. 14.5% alcohol. 330 cases produced. — 13 years ago
