Patricia Green Cellars Pinot Noir Volcanic 09

The one barrel Volcanic bottling takes wine from select barrels of our four Dundee Hill vineyard sites to show off what we consider to be the best, most positive and powerful traits that this appellation has to offer. The Dundee Hills’ Pinot Noirs are about richness, sweet fruit, soft tannins and opulence. This wine will show the sublime sweetness of Balcombe Vineyard, the powerfully intense qualities of the Mysterious Vineyard and the silky elegance and complexity of Ana Vineyard. This is sweetly fruited, sublimely textured Pinot with a long, supple finish and incredible texture from beginning to end. Certainly, this is a bit of a geeky exercise in winemaking but for those interested in the nature of terroir it’s a pretty cool one. - the winery
