Beskrivelse
Belle Glos Taylor Lane Pinot Noir 2014 Magnum
Belle Glos Taylor Lane Pinot Noir 2014 Magnum, er den første vin fra Belle Glos som kommer fra West Sonoma Coast, som er det seneste AVA i Sonoma. Denne helt specielle Cuvée som kun kommer på magnum, er lagret i de kølige kældre hos Belle Glos indtil frigivelsen i 2023. Flasken er naturligvis forseglet med voks og kommer med en helt unik label. Ved køb af 3 flasker leveres i original indpakning.
Som Joe Wagner selv forklarer, vidste han, at denne kølige vinmark tæt på kysten, som han hjalp med at plante, da han gik i high school, kunne producere topklasse Pinot Noirs.
Yderst kompleks næse med tørret timian, vild skovbund, karamel og krydret tranebærsauce. Dette er en vin som kommer med masser af fylde og dybde og samtidig tilfører alderen blidhed og kompleksitet. Wow.
Belle Glos-elskere (og ja, også Bourgogne-fans) bør helt sikkert have denne i deres kældre.
Vinen har fået gode anmeldelser med på vejen:
97 Point – Tasting Panel
Located in the westernmost section of Sonoma County, this rugged, elevated, marine-influenced sub-AVA is the newest in the region. This almost nine-year-old wine immediately delivers a memorable experience through its perfume of jasmine, gardenia, and tangelo; on the palate, notes of brown-sugared cherry join a parade of orange peel and crushed stone. Grainy yet juicy strawberry weaves into vanilla and cedar as white pepper keeps the palate primed for more flavor. – 97/100, Tasting Panel
93 Point – Wine Enthusiast
“Oak spice aromas, powerful black-fruit flavors and a firm structure of acid and moderate tannins give this wine a nice heft to help it pair with rich foods. Having aged extra long at the winery, it still should develop more complexity starting from 2025.” – 93/100, Wine Enthusiast
4,4 Stjerner – Vivino
Joe Wagner siger selv om vinen:
“The Taylor Lane Vineyard was the first vineyard I ever planted and is the most unique site I’ve ever farmed. The Pinot Noir from this location is a true reflection of my winemaking journey and embodies the ‘Go With Your Palate’ philosophy that I carry with me. There are so many aspects that make this wine unique from the trellis, to farming practices, and aging, to determining when to release,” shares Joe Wagner. “After tasting the 2012 through 2015 vintages, I knew it was time to release the 2014, a warm vintage that was showy in its youth and had slightly lower acidity. It’s hitting all the marks right now and only time will tell which vintage we release. The joy I get from waiting on these wines in bottle until they hit their stride is a luxury, and one that honors the patience the vineyard has had with me and I with it.”
