Bucher Block Party
TASTING NOTES:
Pommard Clone Pinot Noir - “A complex nose sets the stage with high-toned red fruit, toasty oak and rustic earth notes that are mirrored on the palate. The entry reveals bright cherry, cranberry, pomegranate and hibiscus laced with creamy red licorice. Hints of huckleberry, violet, blood orange and spices mingle with graceful, yet lively tannins and a gentle oak essence, enhancing the wine’s depth and complexity. Delicious now, this elegant Pinot will further develop with additional bottle aging.” (AbV 13.8%, pH 3.55, TA 0.54 g/100mL)
Opa’s Block Pinot Noir - “Alluring aromatics of bright red fruit — cherry, currant and plum — mingle with notes of loamy earth and hints of eucalyptus and licorice. The plush entry and mouthfeel are balanced by lively acidity and a well-integrated oak structure. A mouthwatering mix of black cherry, cola and vanilla satiates the palate, while a blend of spices appears near the finish, fusing with the delicious, complex flavors as they linger. It’s tempting to drink this luscious Pinot now, so go right ahead, but hold back a few bottles, as this beauty with develop further with additional bottle aging.” (AbV 13.4%, pH 3.60, TA 0.66 g/100mL)
Three Sixty Pinot Noir - “A striking nose offers aromas of red and black fruit layered with toasty oak, red licorice and traces of sweet tobacco and dusty earth. Rich, dark flavors envelope the palate with the delicious essence of vine-ripened Bing cherry and Damson plum laced with hints of mulberry, blood orange, cigar box and floral notes. Balanced acidity and lithe tannins frame the complex flavors, creating a sophisticated, elegant wine. A pleasure to sip now, this Pinot will continue to evolve into an exquisite beauty with a few more years of bottle aging.” (AbV 14.4%, pH 3.60, TA 0.60 g/100mL)
