Pinot Noir from Sonoma County, California

Vintage: 2004
Winery: Three Sticks
Description: Case Price = $85.99 per bottle (add 12+ quantity to your basket). Notes from the Winemaker:. Fruit for Three Sticks Durell Vineyard Pinot Noir comes from three blocks. Block R: Selected for the soil in one corner of this block: a lighter soil with red volcanic deposit, this block falls to the east of a slight slope on the western side of Durell. This cool, windy spot is where cold air pools and winds are channeled down the small sub-valley of Durell. The fruit is Dijon clone 667. Small, controlled vines, produce fruit much the same; providing strength and structure to our Durell pinot. Block T: We use all the fruit from this pocket on the northern tip of Durell which has slightly terraced rows that run north-south. The exposure is east and the block is the first to see morning sun, missing sunset. Warmer, as well as being about the last place fog burns off in all of the Valley. The soil is heavier than other blocks, rocky and shallow. This is the true intersection of warmer valley floor influences and cooler coastal characteristics. Dijon clone 115 is planted here. Block T contributes raciness and spice to our Durell pinot. Block H: The steep slope falls mainly east, but a little to the south and is around the crest of the hill from Block T. The rows run down hill from west to east, capturing and distributing the afternoon sun evenly over the vines, often yielding the ripest fruit in our blend. Strong vines thrive on varied soil but maintain decent size and canopy. Dijon clone 777 is planted here. Structure, texture and dark fruit are the characteristics contributed by this block. Vintage Notes: 2004: Early bud break. Normal spring rains, with a dry summer led to quick ripening and one of our most compressed harvests ever. We picked 21 straight days without a break, and were 95% finished by Sep 13. This vintage represents very good quality in spite of an early harvest.
