The 2009 vintage produced one of our darkest and most extracted expressions of Chenoweth Ranch Pinot Noir to date. While signature notes of strawberry and cherry are still on display, there is a depth and density to this wine that hints at its exceptional ageability, with mouthcoating layers of dark chocolate, smoke and cedar complemented by lovely elements of violet and lavender.

• 91 Points | “Achieving balance in life can be challenging, and the same is true in winemaking, particularly when it comes to aging wines in oak barrels. Here is a wine that has attained a virtually perfect balance between the fruit and oak impressions. Opaque purple in hue, with some violet streaks, it has a fleshy plum and currant aroma, joined by nice wood spices and a sharp pomegranate edge. With time in the glass, the aroma morphs to that of a freshly baked cherry pie. The wine — aged in Burgundian French oak barrels, 70% of which were being used for the first time — is clean and fruity, all the way to the lingering sweet fruit finish that echoes... and echoes.” - Glen Fredericksen
