Hartford Court Pinot Noir MacLean's Block 2009

MacLean's Block is an estate owned vineyard nestled near redwood groves on a beautiful north-eastern facing slope off of Harrison Grade and Bones Roads near the small Russian River Valley town of Occidental.
Dark cherry and concentrated blackberry aromas and flavors are complemented by a broad and pliant texture and a mocha-spice finish. Focused layers of complexity and a long finish reminiscent of minerals and slate provide this small batch Pinot gem with enough structure to be an excellent candidate for long term cellaring.
