Husch Vineyards planted the first Pinot Noir vines in the Anderson Valley, over 35 years ago, in a special place we call "The Knoll". These old vines thrive in an outcropping of sandstone with shale lenses-possessing good drainage, probably the hallmark of this block and one of the reasons the Knoll consistently produces high quality Pinot Noir. The Knoll overlooks the Navarro River and benefits from its cool night air.
After hand harvesting, 85% of the Pinot Noir grapes were crushed and destemmed, while the remaining 15% were whole cluster, then fermented in small open-top bins. The must is gently punched down 3 times per day, by hand, during fermentation and then transferred to the press. The lot was aged in 33% new French oak for 18 months, this wine was minimally handled.
The 2005 Knoll shows aromas of cherry, rum, earth cedar, clove and rose petals with flavors repeating on the palate with high-toned berry, candied plum and cola notes.
