2008 Pinot Noir
The 2008 vintage was not as easy one for growers and winemakers alike throughout the state of Californai. Late frost, strong winds during bloom and wildfires played a significant role in shaping this vintage's wines. Yet despite the obstacles, Husch harvested the grapes and crafted the wine as we traditionally have: the grapes are hand-picked, the juice is fermented in small open-top fermenters, and we age the wine a full 10 months in French Oak (25% new). The 2008 Pinot Noir has a nice fragrant nose rich with ripe cherry, cassis, rhubarb, flit, tobacco and forest floor. Cassis, cherry, pencil shaving, tobacco, and toasty French oak play synergistically on the palate with a vibrant acidity which contributes to its lively mouth feel. This wine will pair well with grilled vegetables, mushroom risotto, venison, and of course the piece de resistance; tripple cream cheeses such as Mt. Tam or Brie.
