TN: 2008 Kendric Vineyards Pinot Noir (USA, California, San Francisco Bay, Marin County)

Continuing with sampling some new (to me) CA Pinot. I like this one a good bit.

  • 2008 Kendric Vineyards Pinot Noir - USA, California, San Francisco Bay, Marin County (3/23/2012)
    Floral and stemmy spice on the nose. Very clean and feminine on the palate. Silky and sexy red fruit that is pure and present, yet restrained. Earthy. Nice touch with the acid, too. A tasty wine that just hits a lot of the right notes for me. Not at all heavy or over worked. ****

_**I agree, this is a very good wine and it shows what Stewart Johnson’s Kendric Vineyard site in cool Marin County is capable of.

I’d posted this in another thread a few days ago, but Steve Heimoff mentioned the '08 Kendric Pinot on a recent blog post about minerality in wine - nice recognition:

Thanks for that Ken.
I’d missed Steve’s article.
Yes, cool climate Marin is very good.
Glad I have a few more.
