Ancien Wines 2007
Pinot Noir, Napa Valley, Mink Vineyard
$45.00

The Mink Vineyard is located in an area due east of the city of Napa, known as "Coombsville". This is a cool area that enjoys a backdraft of air conditioning from the San Pablo Bay. The vineyard is split equally between Swan Selection and Dijon 115 clone of Pinot Noir. The vines can practically be dry-farmed, depending on the year because the soils are very special and distinct from other cool climate Pinot Noir sites in California (or Oregon for that matter).

Tasting notes from Proprietor & Winemaker Ken Bernards: "The nose opens to rich arrangement of dried blueberries, fresh raspberries, pomegranate, and ripe red apples, with a whiff of mint interwoven into the fruits. Dark chocolate, coffee, black tea, and tobacco notes provide a counterpoint to the fruit, reminding one of the deep structure of this wine. The palate moves towards darker fruits, plums, blueberry, and blackberry, showing a surprising brightness and lift in balance with the rich flavors and intense structure of the tannin. The wine finishes with Mink Vineyard’s signature chalky minerality, a mouth-coating and rich flavor."

Total Production: 266 cases

Aging Potential: 7-10 years
