2009 Stewart Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., 402 cases, $50. Sourced from Gibson Vineyard
on Ross Station Road. Clone 115. Aged 10 months in 55% new and 45% 1-year-old French oak barrels.

·
Moderate reddish-purple color in the glass. Ripe,
roasted fruit profile on the nose with aromas of cooked berries and cherry pie glaze. Rich and velvety on the
palate, even a little too soft, with an extracted core of sweet, sappy and very ripe fruit flavors including stewed
plum and cassis, finishing with generous intensity and a little heat. Decent.
