Newton Johnson 2005 Pinot Noir
Description:
Producer Notes: Much emphasis is placed on vineyard site selection and identification by Newton Johnson, with variations of three basic components of the soil: clay, sand, and stone. These may be expressed in a range of flavors from vibrant cherry, raspberry, black currants, liquorice, cinnamon stick, as some of the primary indicators. Each parcel is vinified and matured separately to respect and enhance its expression, and synergistically combined in to the final blend in this 2005 Newton Johnson Pinot Noir. We respect the power and elegance that Pinot Noir expresses so well through the soil and climate. 45% of the blend was naturally fermented, progressively showing more definitive characters in the wine. A supple and integrated tannin structure is the result of respect for the extraction of the skins and slower, cooler fermentations.
