2010 Paul Mathew TNT Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.3% alc., pH 3.81, TA 0.56,
188 cases, $45. Released November 1, 2012. This Green Valley vineyard was planted in 1999 and
2000 with clones 114, 115, 667 and 777 on Riparia Gloire rootstock in Goldridge soil. Aged 10 months
in 50% new French oak barrels.
·
Moderately light reddish-purple color in the glass. Enticing aromas of
berry jam on toast. Mouth filling, hearty flavors of black cherries and black raspberries implode on the
mid palate with aplomb, lingering with a cherry and sassafras driven finish that is memorable. My
notes say, “This is really good.” Fine the next day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle.

2006 Paul Mathew Vineyards TNT Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.6% alc., $34. Crafted by owner and winemaker Mat Gustafson. Wild yeast
and MLF bacteria.
·
Ripe aromas and flavors of black cherries and dark red
berries, herbed meats and black currants. Tasty with a good acid grip and
admirable balance. Would enjoy this wine more if the fruit didn’t veer to far to the
ultra ripe side.
