2019 Jenkins Vineyard Pinot Noir

92+ Points | Jeb Dunnuck
"Taking on a more brooding profile, the 2019 Pinot Noir Jenkins Vineyard pours a ruby/red hue and opens to a cologne of fresh leather, cherry liqueur, sassafras, and wooded spice. Medium to full-bodied, it saturates the palate with meaty fruit, although it doesn’t feel heavy, and has ripe tannins, with more structure than the rest of these wines from Ten Acre. It’s a well-balanced and very impressive red. Drink 2023-2030."

High up on a hill overlooking Sebastopol, Jenkins Vineyard benefits from the cooling effect of the nearby Pacific Ocean. At the same time, it is high enough in altitude to sit above some of the fog that rolls in around mid-afternoon each day. Planted amid Gravenstein apple trees, Jenkin’s features Pinot Noir clones 115 and 667.

With a fairly early bud break, Pinot Noir fruit from the Jenkins Vineyard was picked on August 29th and placed in two open-top tanks for 13 days. The wine was aged for 11 months in 100% French oak barrels, 22% of which were new. This impressive Pinot Noirs exude all of the iconic characteristics of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir: Bing cherries and cocoa, with secondary herbaceous notes.
