2001 Cottonwood Canyon Estate Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir

first entire vintage where the wine was left for 18 months on the lees in unopened French oak barrels.
Aged for 20 months in barrel. From the estate’s Sharon’s Vineyard and Elizabeth’s Vineyard. Just released!

Light ruby in color. Earthy scents of wet leaves, hay, charcoal, minerals and a little toast. Red
stone fruits, earth and wood shed, smoke, pepper and spice and everything nice. Elegant with fine grained
tannins. An interesting and charming drink.

2000 Cottonwood Canyon Sharon’s Vineyard Barrel Select Santa Maria
? alc.. An illustration of Sharon’s Vineyard by artist
Michael Humphreys is on the attractive label.
·
Burnished red in color. A rich
and heady nose displaying dark berries, raisin and new leather. Ripe cherries
leap out on the palate with a hint of pepper and oak. I liked this wine a lot for
its aged patina.

2000 Cottonwood Canyon Estate Pinot Noir
14.37% alc., 600 cases, $39.
Sharon’s Vineyard and Elizabeth’s Vista Vineyard. Aged in 50% new oak.
·
Very slight orange-tinged rim. Bright crushed berries with a little raisin note
make for pleasing aromatics. A bit rustic for me with soft berry and red stone
fruits with a pastry dough and almond sidecar. Not my cup of tea.

1995 Cottonwood Canyon Sharon’s Vineyard Estate Santa Maria Valley
13.0% alc., $58.
·
The wine has retained a pretty garnet color. The
bouquet is typical for an aged Pinot Noir with shy cherry fruit complimented by
oak, wet stone, spearmint and some minerality. Tart cherry and cranberry fruit
flavors are a bit faded. There is crisp acidity and noticeable, but soft, tannins
on the finish.
