Pinot Noir, Toboni Vineyard, Russian River Valley – 2013
-
Vineyard Profile
-
Toboni Vineyard owners Mary and Joe Toboni are fourth-generation San Franciscans whose roots can be traced back to San Francisco as early as the 1870s and to Sonoma County prior to the 1920s. The 15-acre vineyard is located just off the famed Olivet Lane in the heart of the Russian River Valley. It is divided into multiple blocks planted to Dijon 115, 667 and 777, as well as Pommard clone 5. The various clonal blocks match the various slope aspects in an effort to maximize the vines’ ability to ripen in the cool, foggy conditions. Meticulous attention is given to each block throughout the growing season to allow the inherent, sight-specific qualities of the vineyard to shine in the finished wine.

Tasting Notes
-
The profile of the 2013 Toboni Vineyard Pinot Noir is classic Russian River Valley. The nose is full of sweet spice and raspberry-based aromas. Notes of cocoa powder, bacon, fresh raspberries and fig come in waves as this complex and tightly knit wine opens up over many minutes and even hours. More complex aromas of raspberry coulis, roast duck, grilled pancetta and gingersnap begin to develop with time in the glass. The finish is long and persistent with a mouth-watering nose of cinnamon bun, graham cracker and violets rewarding the taster who allows the wine time to fully open up in the glass. Drink 2016 through 2026.

Pinot Noir, Toboni Vineyard, Russian River Valley – 2013 – 92 points – Vinous
“The 2013 Pinot Noir Toboni Vineyard shows the punchier, racier wines in the range. Succulent black cherry, plum, menthol, spice and new leather flesh out. Drink this forward, flamboyant Pinot over the next handful of years.”
