Elegant, juicy, harmonious.
This label is a selection of Citation's best barrels from exceptional sites and they have seen additional bottle age before release. They note it is the finest Pinot Noir they offer and is created by looking beyond the limits of geographic boundaries to attain the highest quality possible. The most promising vineyard blocks were selected and fermented in small vessels. Punched-down twice a day by hand, the wine was later gently pressed to French oak barrels and aged for the next 15 months. This 2006 was then bottle aged an additional 9 years before release.
A symphony of wild red berries, star anise, forest floor, cedar, pomegranate, leather and vanilla aromas lead to an elegant palate. Still wonderfully youthful and fresh it is woven with spice, tealeaf and forest berry flavours. Harmonious and quite ethereal.
