Adrian Fog Savoy Vineyard Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley, Mendocino County, California, USA, 2007

Description

The 2007 Adrian Fog Savoy Vineyard Pinot Noir is a single-vineyard Pinot Noir sourced from the renowned Savoy Vineyard in California's cool-climate Anderson Valley AVA. Crafted by Adrian Fog Winery, this limited-production wine showcases the elegance, purity, and complexity for which the vineyard is highly regarded.

The 2007 vintage opens with aromas of black cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, rose petal, forest floor, baking spice, and subtle oak. The palate is refined and silky, revealing layers of red berries, cranberry, black tea, mushroom, and earthy minerality, supported by vibrant acidity and fine tannins. The long, balanced finish reflects both the cool Anderson Valley climate and the exceptional quality of Savoy Vineyard fruit.

A beautifully mature Pinot Noir, this wine pairs wonderfully with duck, roasted poultry, salmon, mushroom dishes, and soft-ripened cheeses.

High acidity gives this wine a serious bite of tartness. It's unbalanced. The cherry and cola flavors also veer into overripe raisins, giving the wine a grapeskin bitterness.
