The Wine
2006 Vintage
Pinot Noir - Kanzler Vineyard
Our first vintage of Kanzler Vineyard was in 2002. Since then, the vineyard has proven to be unique and extremely consistent. The Kanzler Vineyard is located in Sebastopol, just south of Bodega Highway, on a very cool, gently sloping site. Consisting of clones 115, 667 and Pommard, this vintage continues to deliver complexity, strength, yet pure Pinot Noir flavors we expect from Kanzler. We recommend cellaring this wine for 2-3 years and enjoying over the next 5-7 years.
Aromatics:
A complex array of fresh blueberry, blackberry and raspberry fruit grab your attention with a slight hint of orange blossom and mineral.
On the palate:
Piercing ripe currants, juicy blackberry and sweet dark cherries with traces of cedar and dust. Thick and juicy on the midpalate with supportive, mouthwatering acidity. All of which leads to a long, bracing finish with a touch of minerality.
