2007 C. Donatiello Hervey Vineyard Green Valley Pinot Noir
13.6% alc., 515 magnums, $142.
Grapes from this vineyard were previously part of a blend for a large winery. This 9-10-acre vineyard
in southwestern Sebastopol consists of 8-year-old vines planted to clones 115, 667 and 777 at a very
cool site with plenty of fog. The result is an extra 3 to 4 weeks of hang time. Farmed by John Hervey,
a Spanish teacher and dedicated winegrower. This wine comes from a block of 667 clone only. Aged
10 months in 100% 1-year-old French oak barrels.
·
This is one of those wines you keep coming back
to. Bright and complex perfume of Bing cherries, fresh herbs, vanilla and soft oak. Stone fruit-driven
rich middle palate that has plenty of structural power yet retains an appealing elegance. The finish is persistent
like a dreamy three hour movie that never ends.
