Harrington 2004 Pinot Noir Birkmyer Vineyard
$30.00 -- Wild Horse ValleyPurchase Harrington 2004 Pinot Noir Birkmyer Vineyard
Vineyard Notes:
While still located within Napa County, the Wild Horse Valley appellation is located directly east of, and above the town of Napa, at an elevation of 1,400 feet. This higher elevation and the ability to funnel cool Carneros fog all summer long makes for an ideal situation for growing Pinot Noir grapes. Thin, well-drained mountain soils, 25 year-old vines and unusually long hang times contribute to the development of bright, complex flavors.
Winemaker Tasting Notes:
In the glass, the 2004 Birkmyer exhibits clean, lifted aromatics of cinnamon, spicecake and rose petals. This wine provides a broad, juicy mouthfeel, with softer tannins and a well-focused minerality. Opening up with flavors of cranberry and dark fruits, the wine unpacks a little pomegranate on the midpalate and finishs with lush, toasty cherry. Although this wine is still a juvenile, it is already drinking beautifully and is ready for immediate consumption.
