RON WIEGAND RESTAURANT WINE: 2002 Pinotage - 2002 Pinot Noir Reserve - 2001 Pinot Noir Reserve - 2002 Pinot Noir - 2001 Pinot Noir - 2002 ChardonnayMay 01, 20062002 PINOTAGE Fort Ross Vineyard, Sonoma Coast 5 STARS : EXCEPTIONAL Exceptional Pinotage, in a Pinot Noir-like style (supple, aromatic, complex): it is full bodied, intensely flavored, and very long on the palate, with a crisp finish. It tastes of vanilla, plum, tobacco, blueberry, and black licorice. Unfined, unfiltered. [2006-2007] 2002 PINOT NOIR RESERVE Fort Ross Vineyard, Sonoma Coast 5 STARS : EXCEPTIONAL The RESERVE is fine and complex in style; a full bodied, crisp Pinot Noir, with a long persistent finish. It tastes of cherry, blueberry, tobacco, toast, and vanilla. Not far in style from fine red burgundy. Both are unfined and unfiltered [2007-2009] 2001 PINOT NOIR RESERVE Fort Ross Vineyard, Sonoma Coast 5 STARS : EXCEPTIONAL The Reserve is richer and more opulent, but with a similar sense of restraint. It is full bodied and very complex in style; a wine with intense character, layers of flavor (plum, toasted oak, tobacco, humus, and red current). Long finish. More like a fine premier cru bottling. Unfined, unfiltered. [2005-2008] 2002 PINOT NOIR Fort Ross Vineyard, Sonoma Coast 4 STARS : EXCELLENT Uniquely styled wines from this coastal vineyard. The standard bottling is aromatic and very distinct; a full bodied, finely flavored wine, with a crisp finish. It tastes of blueberry, cherry, red currant, toast, ginger, and vanilla. 2001 PINOT NOIR Fort Ross Vineyard, Sonoma Coast 4 STARS : EXCELLENT FIRST RELEASE. Both wines have a distinctively Burgundian profile, in the best sense (restraint and complexity). The standard bottling tastes like an excellent single vineyard bottling from a leading Burgundy producer: it is medium full in weight, long on the palate, and tastes of tobacco, toast, spicy oak, plum, and red currant. 2002 CHARDONNAY Fort Ross Vineyard, Sonoma Coast 4 STARS : EXCELLENT Softly textured and full bodied, a wine with restrained fruitiness, modest new oak character, and medium length. An understated yet rich wine. Unfined, unfiltered. « Back |
