2007 Vintage Tasting Notes
Laura Volkman Vineyards Rachel Pinot noir 07 - Composed of clones 114, 667 and Pommard. Demure aromas of confected cherries and red raspberries, brioche, hay and spice. Packed with deep red fruit flavors augmented with subtle oak and some earthiness. Very silky and diaphanous. Ripe tannins enhance the structural integrity and the finish has a pleasing grip of acidity. Still not at its apogee, but a very promising feminine-styled Pinot. -Rusty Gaffney, PinotFile
The Rachel Pinot Noir is estate grown fruit from our West Block where the afternoon sun and high winds play a role in ripening and flavors. The clones planted are Pommard, and Dijon 667 and 114 on rootstocks 101-14 and 44-53. Very floral and lighter, more burgundian in style, with earthy tones. Barrel aged on the lees in 50% new French oak. - Laura Volkman
