R. Stuart & Co. Wine Detail Page
2007 Falcon Glenn Pinot Noir
Wine Type: Older Vintages, Our Wines
This is a first for us. Glenn and Susanne Howard who are the owners planted it only in the last few years, and it is just now beginning to produce fruit. I am delighted to work with it. I believe that it has the same potential as the well-heeled vineyards in the Dundee Hills. It has the same altitude of about 400 feet and aspect of due south. It is the red jory soil of Dundee and yet it is in the McMinnville appellation. We taste very lovely blueberry and peach kind of flavors coming out of this wine, very soft and sweet on the palate.
Since this is my first year of making wine from the vineyard, I am excited to see what becomes consistent from year to year – defines the terroir of this site. With Glenn’s passionate and precise management, it won’t take long to get a sense of it. This vineyard is set to become a regular component of our Autograph blend.
