Iota Cellars Pinot noir 08

Review:

2008 Tanzer - 90+ points - The 08 Iota Pinot Noir exhibits a dark, plummy hue. A cornucopia of berries and ripe cherries initially envelope one's nose with notes of sweet vanillin, chocolate, subtle smoke and spice. Upon consumption, the rich and multi-layered mid-palate unfolds, revealing hints of mineral, soil and dusty rose petal as the smooth, mouth-coating finish beckons one to try yet another sip. - the winery

Our most enticing vintage to date, the Iota 2008 embodies the best attributes of our two previous vintages thus far. Fruit, acid and tannins at play in perfect harmony; mother-nature simply did the work for us this vintage! We hope you enjoy drinking it as much as we enjoyed making it!

Bottled unfined and unfiltered as always, it was aged for ten months in third year air-dried French oak barrels, 50% new - 330 cases produced.

This special cuvée is comprised of four clones from our six estate blocks: "Pappou" & "Yiayia," planted to Pommard, "Abino Hill" planted to Wädenswil, "Ana" & "Tonka" planted to Dijon 777 and "Oscar" planted to Dijon 667. Each of these blocks has a unique soil makeup and exposure.
