title: Gary Farrell 2005 Hallberg Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
description: The vineyard is relatively new, and the block from which this wine was made is entirely Dijon clone 777. It's a rich, fruit-forward wine, brimming with crushed cherry pulp and black raspberries, to which charred oak barrels have lent richer notes of mocha. The wine also is quite dry and acidic and even tannic, in Farrell's usual style. That should lend it ageworthiness.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Hallberg Vineyard
