$342 15 Cases allocated to Hawaii
"A blend of mostly Cargasacchi and Melville, both 115 clone, with a small
amount of Fiddlestix Pommard clone. Fermented on native yeast for 18
months, 50% new French oak.
“Bright, medium ruby in color. Inviting floral notes mixed with new
leather, button mushroom and lightly toasted oak. On the palate,
strawberry, red plums and cran-raspberry. Good structure, more red fruits
and a lovely, spicy finish. A winner.”
2005 Bonaccorsi Pinot Noir – Presidio (150 Cases Produced) $372 FOB 4
Cases allocated to Hawaii
Jenne says: “I am ecstatic about working with this new vineyard, right
outside the Sta. Rita Hills appellation. A biodynamic and organic vineyard
by Doug Braun, winemaker for Presidio wines. I visited this site when it
was just dirt and gun shells (former shooting range). It is amazing what
has transpired in the last six years.” 115 clone, from a sloped hill,
fermented on native yeast, aged 18 months in 50% new French oak. “Full ruby
in color. Bright fruit nose with initial toasty oak and vanilla on nose.
Spicy, opens to broad blackberry and blue berry like fruits. Finishes to a
maple and vanilla.”
2005 Bonaccorsi Pinot Noir– Sanford & Benedict (120 Cases Produced)
$372 FOB 4 Cases allocated to Hawaii
Jenne took a different approach to this fruit than the previous years.
She did a 20% stem inclusion in the fermentation, used less new oak and kept
the wines longer in barrel. Fermented on native yeast, aged for 18 months
in 50% new French oak. “My favorite of the tasting. Medium ruby in color
with a touch of garnet at the rim. Lovely aromas, seductive and woodland
forest notes. Immediate red fruits, strawberry, bing cherry and a host of
flowers: lilac, rose and gardenia. Firm acid and tannin on the palate.
Savory, with cinnamon stick and a touch of cranberry.”
Thank You!
