Baileyana Firepeak Vineyard Pinot Noir 2002
Pinot Noir
from Central Coast, California
winemaker's notes:
"Truly varietally correct, in the silky mouthfeel, crisp acids, delicate mouthfeel and cherry flavors, but goes the extra mile in achieving real complexity. Addictively drinkable, one of those wines whose pleasure is
accentuated by a slight resistance, due to a sprinkling of dusty tannins."
-Wine Enthusiast
Exquisitely concentrated with rich dark color, intense black cherry, spice and cola flavors. This unique blend of multiple clones has enabled us to create a classic Pinot Noir with elegant varietal flavors.

I brought Firepeak Pinot to a "Wine Snobs" home the other night. Now this person NEVER has wine under the $50/bottle range in his house. He had obviously never heard of Baileyana....I had him taste the Firepeak Pinot and he loved it. I told him, I could get him a case at $600/case and he wanted to get 2!! I then came clean and the Wine Snob was humbled!! Awesome grapes!!

The Firepeak is an easily drinkable wine for all pallettes, and you will be surprised to know that even the people that profess to "Prefer other things" still loved it and finished a glass. It works well with any rich foods or alone. I woudn't pair it with a more demure meal, as it would easily overpower the food you enjoy. This is a tremendous value, and one of the best bottles, I've had all year. The finish, especially, is excellent.
