Roma's Vineyard is a wild and remote part of the Anderson Valley, a ridge overlooking Boonville in the far north of the valley. The biggest danger to the crop comes from black bears, who harvest a few of the remotest acres on their own. Tobe and Dylan Sheldon, knowing the special qualities of the vineyard, choose to make this wine without any new oak and I love what I find in my glass.
Medium light garnet, lighter around the rim. Not extremely aromatic compared to the Couloir Roma's Vineyard Pinot beside it at the table. Flavors though are intense, complex and delicious. Sour cherries and cranberries. Tannins on the mid-palate are ripe and lovely with plenty of intense acidity to balance.
