A tale of four 2004 Pinots: Clone 114     Clone 667     Clone 777     The Blend   the blend is composed of the other three wines.



"DATE: 08-25-07 Appearance: Ruby.
Nose: Strawberry, cherry, beet, earthy and spicy oak notes.
Palate: Dry with good acidity, midweight. Palate follows the nose, some silkiness and richness midpalate, strong ripe tannins show on the long clean finish, almost aggressively so. Harshest of the four, least ripe on the palate.
Conclusions: All four wines are very high quality, and interesting in their own right. All are foodworthy, and all should reach eight years in a cellar in good condition.

This particular clone seems to need to be blended with # 667 to soften it, and # 777 to add fruit." lfw
