Tasting notes
The 2006 Pinot Noir Fe Ciega Vineyard showed nicely in this retrospective, revealing an elegant, yet mid-weight style that's drinking great today. Currants, game, underbrush and leafy herbs emerge from this elegant, fresh and delightfully drinkable Pinot Noir. The Fe Ciega Vineyard (which is Spanish for blind faith) is a cool site on the western edge of the Sta. Rita Hills AVA, and Adam’s Pinot Noir from this site is mostly destemmed (it was completely destemmed up through the 2010 vintage) and spends 15 months in roughly 20% new barrels. It has a wonderfully complex style and can easily deep for 10-15 years after the vintage.

Ojai’s lovely 2006 Pinot Noir Fe Ciega exhibits a plum/ruby color as well as sweet aromas of earth, herbs, black cherries, black plums, and blackberry-like fruit, silky tannin, pleasant, crisp acids, and a medium to full-bodied finish. Approachable now, it should evolve for another 4-6 years. Tel. (805) 649-1674
Vivid red. Seductive, gaudy nose displays compelling aromas of spicy red and dark berry preserves, patchouli, rose and incense. Sappy raspberry and blackberry flavors are firmed by dusty tannins and gain sweetness with air. Finishes juicy, sweet and long, with a suave floral nuance lingering. I can still smell this wine.
