2009 Enkidu Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
14.4% alc., 900 cases, $28.
·
Moderately light reddish-purple color in
the glass. The nose is dominated by oak with very little fruit evident. Heavily oak-imbued melange of cherries
and berries on the palate. Silky and juicy, but doesn’t deliver much fruit flavor now. May improve with more
time the bottle. I have enjoyed other Enkidu Pinots but found this one disappointing. Decent.

2006 Enkidu Wine Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.7% alc., 225
cases, $22 (sold out on the website). From two vineyards in Green Valley
heavily influenced by maritime fog. Aged 10 months in 30% new oak.
·
The
aromatics feature dark red jammy fruits with a pleasant touch of oak. A crisp,
juicy Pinot Noir showing lavish dark red cherry fruit accentuated by oak spice,
particularly vanilla and cinnamon. Light on its feet with gossamer tannins and
a fairly long finish. Pretty darn good for this price.
