Ethereal Pinot showing profound terroir integration after thirteen years.
Framboise and forest floor leap from glass immediately. Black cherry concentrate mingles with wet earth, creating haunting aromatic complexity. Thirteen years transformed this wine completely. Spice box notes weave through silky fruit core. Mid-palate reveals extraordinary depth - layers unfold slowly. Earth tones ground the bright berry fruit perfectly. Tannins dissolved into seamless texture. Finish stretches endlessly, cycling through fruit, spice, mineral notes. This vintage hit peak drinking window. Sonoma Coast fog influence evident in elegant restraint. Helen Turley's final vintage here shows her mastery. Drink now through 2028 maximum.
๐ท You collect California Pinot legends and want to taste winemaking history at its peak.
Pairs with: Duck breast with cherry gastrique, Wild mushroom risotto, Herb-crusted rack of lamb, Aged Gruyรจre
