NAWBC Live Blogging. Post #4

First North American Wine Bloggers Conference

The wine has arrived.

Small Vines Wines 2006 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
Three year old producer making pinot from high-density planting.

Big on malolactic characteristics, aged in 36% new oak. This single-vineyard wine (due to be released in a month) is a field blend of four Dijon clones (115, 114, 667, 777) grown biodynamically. This wine is too buttery and creamy for my tastes. It dominates the armoas for me. Smooth and quite soft in the mouth this is a drink-now social sipper.
