Thanksgiving 2007: Wine Omission: 2006 Harrington Pinot

2006 Harringon Pinot Noir, Gap's Crown Vineyard

I can't believe I forgot one of the more amazing wines of the evening, Bryan Harrington's Gap Crown Pinot Noir 2006.  Yes, I said 2006, and though it seemed infanticide at the time, this is an incredibly well made, balanced wine with gobs of red fruits and heady earthy scents. Unfined and Unfiltered - just the way I like 'em. 160 cases produced.

It's always reassuring when you've just had a wine at a big tasting and open it late into a party and low and behold, it's just as good as you remembered. This was a standout from the tasting I did a couple of months ago at the opening of Grange, along with the other Harringtons I had. Very highly recommended.
