The 2005 Pinot Noir “Dussin Vineyard” spent 10 months in 30% new French oak. Medium ruby–colored, it offers a lovely perfume of smoke, leather, red cherry, and cassis. This leads to a medium-bodied, lush wine with sweet, spicy fruit, uplifting acidity and integrated tannins. There is excellent depth length to this unusually friendly 2005.
Lynn Penner-Ash had a long, successful career at Rex Hill before starting her namesake winery with her husband Ron in 1998. They are now ensconced in a new gravity-flow winery of their own design. She describes the 2005 vintage as “challenging” both because of the weather and because it was their first vintage in the new winery.
