The Wine
2007 Vintage
Pinot Noir - Kanzler Vineyard
Our first vintage of Kanzler Vineyard was in 2002. Since then, the vineyard has proven to be unique and extremely consistent. The Kanzler Vineyard is located in Sebastopol, just south of Bodega Highway, on a very cool, gently sloping site. Consisting of clones 115, 667 and Pommard, this vintage continues to deliver complexity, strength, yet pure Pinot Noir flavors we expect from Kanzler. We recommend cellaring this wine for 2-3 years and enjoying over the next 5-7 years.
Aromatics:
Focused and intense raspberry and dark berry fruit accented by lavender and lilacs. Pleasing hints of flint and stone help accentuate the abundance of briary fruit.
On the palate:
A generous amount of blackberry, boysenberry and blue fruit. The intense berry flavor is coaxed through and around the palate with gripping acidity, minerals and cinnamon. The finish is lengthy and mouthwatering leaving you wanting more.
