Winemaker's Notes
|
The color this year is of similar depth and concentration to the '04, though with more of a garnet hue from the softer acidity.
Aromas begin, uncommonly for a Lynmar Pinot, with mélange of dark fruit notes, yet with no sense of overripeness or alcoholic
warmth. There is simply a "jammier" character this vintage due to the nature of the fruit. A subtle Chinese 5-spice note accents
the fruit, along with a mild, complex earthiness desired in a naturally fermented Pinot. Our vineyard sources were refined from
2004; where this really shows is in this wine's texture. The entry is round and inviting, with a rich but not heavy mid-palate,
velvety tannins, and a soft yet balanced acidity. There is a nice youthful “grip” to the finish that in no way detracts from this
wine's early drinking appeal. In fact, we expect this vintage to drink better than ever upon release. As always, this wine will only
get better during its release cycle, and we expect it to continue to evolve wonderfully for at least the next 2 years..o |
