The Klopp Ranch Vineyard is 26-acre vineyard planted to Pinot Noir clones Pommard 5, Joseph Swan and Dijon clones 115, 667 and 777. The wine shows a wonderful dark fruit profile with dark raspberry, and loganberry preserves that connect with forest floor and white truffles. The palate shows wonderful freshness and intensity, showing a nice saline streak. Black tea, wild blackberry jam, cigar ash and wet stone flavors all marvelously connect in the glass. This stunning wine is best enjoyed over the next fifteen plus years but it is sensational right now. Give this at least an hour decant if enjoying in its youth.
