2008 Clary Ranch Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
13.8% alc., 187 cases, $39.50.
From an estate vineyard in the Petaluma Gap. Clones are Pommard 4, 667.
Yields 1.4 tons per acre. Aged 30 months in 50% new French oak barrels.
·
Moderate reddish-purple color in the glass. Aromas of black fruits, leaf,
eucalyptus, leather and oak. Big-boned flavors of black plum, blackberry, black
currants and sassafras with an evident oak presence contributing a tarry note.
The oak influence tends to recede over time in the glass and is less noticeable
the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle, but the
significant time in a high percentage of new oak has left its imprint. Good.

2005 Clary Ranch Wines Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
$50. Paul Clary farms a 15-acre vineyard at the
headwaters to Chileno Creek in the hills of Petaluma and produces one Pinot Noir.
·
The 2004 vintage
was quite good and well received in the wine press. The 2005 is even better with more elegance, less heft
and ripeness, and softer tannins. It is drinking beautifully now.

2004 Clary Ranch Grower’s Reserve Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
14.9% alc., 150 cases, $50.
·
This wine has really mellowed since I tasted it last year. It is stacked and packed with fruit, but the
tannins have softened and the texture is marshmallow soft.

This
Pinot is made in the full-bodied style so popular in California. I tasted the wine briefly at the recent Pinot
Days Festival. The winemaker’s notes are probably most helpful: Aromatic, complex, and intense, with
a luscious long-lasting finish. Dark and concentrated, yet well-balanced, with good acidity and a healthy
tannic backbone.
