Tudor Wines Balo Vineyard Pinot Noir
2007 was said to be the greatest vintage we would see in our lifetimes in California. This particular pinot noir from Anderson Valley is from the Balo Vineyard which is located directly across the road from the Golden Eye winery and vineyard. The vineyard is one of the rare pinot noir sites that insists on wanting to produce massive wines. The fruit and structure are huge. This wine will age beautifully for another 20 years. Enjoy now or buy a case to drink over the next decade or two.
