On a stunning hillside vineyard located northwest of Philo, Richard Savoy´s Pinot Noir grapes develop intense flavor over a growing season lengthened by the cooling maritime influence that funnels through the Anderson Valley. A severe veraison drop in early September of 2007 helped concentrate and ripen the fruit. Showing classic Savoy pedigree, the intensely colored wine features intensity and focus on the nose as well with fresh blueberry, black cherry, limestone, sage, milk chocolate and grilled meat aromas. Minty berry, cherry and chocolate flavors emanate from the expansive, lush midpalate. The finish, though elegant, still shows the cut of youth, with fine–grained tannins providing the structure for long–term cellaring. Drink through at least 2016. 536 cases produced. $50 per bottle. RELEASE DATE: August 31, 2009 |

I-WINEREVIEW, May 2009 barrel sample “When tasted out of barrel last December, the 2007 Savoy Pinot Noir was stunning—“absolutely gorgeous” according to my notes. Sourced from the same Savoy Vineyard that produces such lovely fruit for the Chardonnay, the wine revealed a lovely fresh aromatic character underpinned with ripe black cherry fruit and spice and a lush texture. Only time will tell how this one tastes after some time in the bottle.” — Mike Potashnik |
