Halleck 2005 Pinot Noir, Hallberg Vineyard

Winery Notes:
Sebastopol is a newly discovered gem. Once the home of the Gravenstein apple, it is now a confluence of outstanding vineyards, excellent soil, a balance of sun and fog, renowned winemakers, veteran vineyard managers, cream of the crop students from Davis, hands-on production facilities and a passion for growing Pinot Noir everywhere you turn.

Vineyard Notes:
Hallberg Apple Orchard use to be our favorite place to stock up on freshly squeezed apple juice in the early 1990s. Goldridgepinot planted a new vineyard right on this very spot off Highway 166 in downtown Sebastopol called Hallberg Vineyard . This vineyard represents a full circle for us as we continue to purchase and enjoy the product of this extraordinary property into the next generation.

Tasting Notes:
A deep garnet purple color with aromas of concentrated, full-bodied spice, black cherry, and earth. Full and rich on the palate with loads of extract, body, great structure and balance with a long finish. Very complex. Consume it over the next 5-8 years.
