Organic/Bio There’s something joyfully incongruous about a bearded outdoors guy who wears flannel, farms his vineyard with horses, chickens, sheep, geese and (his own) children, and waxes on passionately about the quality of his dirt and the bugs living there making a wine called “Luxuria.” But the "luxury" here comes not from winegrower Stephen Hagen, but from two small slices at the bottom of his vineyard that have decided to do their own thing. In the small "DMC" and "LaRock" sections of the vineyards, the Pommard and Dijon 777 clones of Pinot Noir Stephen planted have decided to abandon their clonal character and all merge into an expression of these two small slices of land. Where the rest of the vineyard wants to talk about tropical/citric acidity, minerality, vigor and zest, the vines in these blocks don ermine and velvet and embrace richness and, well, luxury!
This is clearly the best Luxuria yet. As always it’s loaded with dark flavors – earthy forest floor, blackberry, black cherry, old leather, baker’s chocolate and a subtle hint of smoke. And it’s as rich and velvety in texture as ever, not so much coating your palate as caressing or embracing it. What elevates it to new levels of luxury is the thin line of citric freshness that lifts the wine’s flavors on entry, fades to the back to let the ripe fruit star on the mid-palate, and then returns to push the finishing flavors all the way to the back of your palate. This is Pinot Noir to drink with rich planked salmon or, even better, dry-aged beef or something loaded with porcini mushrooms. Or all by itself with a warm fire and someone to snuggle with.
For You If: “Luxurious” Pinot Noir sounds appealing – this delivers on that promise!
Not For You If: You’re after light, fresh and/or delicate Pinot Noir – this is pretty robust, if perfectly balanced.
