Our winemakers reviewed each barrel lot for the purpose of isolating individual barrels, effectively selecting what we believe to be the finest regional representation of Pinot Noir for the vintage. These select barrels were then assembled to create an extraordinary offering of outstanding quality. This vintage is especially unique, as it came from one exceptional Edna Ranch site, block 593, (Pommard clone). We felt it was the most fully balanced wine in every sense. The end result, we believe, is possibly our finest Pinot Noir offering to date. Winemaking & Cellar Information We hand-harvested 3.9 tons of gorgeous clusters into half-ton bins, then quickly transported to the nearby winery. Following a gentle destemming, the resulting “must” was transferred into an open-top tank and underwent a 36 hour cold-soak phase, at 50°F, to develop the fruit character. The fermenter was then inoculated with natural wine yeast and subsequently punched-down daily, according to the rate of fermentation. When dry, the “marc” (skins and seeds remaining following wine draw-off ), was transferred to our small lot basket press to ensure gentle handling during this critical extraction phase. Following 24-hour settling, the young wine was transferred to 10 French oak barrels, 3 new, (coopers Rousseau, de Mercurey, and Remond), where it remained until the September 2004 bottling. Analytical Information Alcohol: 14.7 % T.A. 6.23 g/L pH: 3.78 Brix at Harvest: 24.8 Tasting Notes Ruby-crimson color. Aromas of ripe blackberry with a pleasing background of roasted game. Flavors complement the aromatics. This wine begins with vivacious fruit at the entry and mid-palate, finishing fresh and long. <LI>SKU: 1516 Other products in the category <A HREF="http://store.tolosawinery.com/Category1" TITLE="Tolosa Red Wines">Tolosa Red Wines</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://store.tolosawinery.com/Product131 TITLE="2006 Tolosa Pinot Noir ">2006 Tolosa Pinot Noir </A> -- Delicious Pinot Noir that just received 93 points in Cheers Magazine! <LI><A HREF=http://store.tolosawinery.com/Product128 TITLE="Mission V Red Wine Blend">Mission V Red Wine Blend</A> -- Made by Wine Club Members in the 2008 Blending Seminar. <LI><A HREF=http://store.tolosawinery.com/Product129 TITLE="2006 Tolosa Syrah">2006 Tolosa Syrah</A> -- Syrah’s characteristic perfume of black pepper is present in abundance, as well as blueberry, cedar, tobacco, and East Indian spices. <LI><A HREF=http://store.tolosawinery.com/Product117 TITLE="2006 Grenache Noir">2006 Grenache Noir</A> -- Limited production.
