The 2006 Knittel Pinot has all the varietal and regional components of a Carneros Pinot Noir. The aroma is complex and bursting with red fruit, while the palate is smooth and velvety, rich and full but not overextracted. The aroma of the Knittel Pinot is, year in and year out, characterized by plush aromas of strawberry jam, common in excellent Carneros Pinots, but very pronounced and appealing in the Knittel Pinot ...we have come to call it the Knittel nose.
The characteristic Stags Leap flavors are dark stone fruits and bramble berries. This berry aroma is especially present in the Renteria Cabernet. The mouth feel is also a classic Stags Leap -- a plush mid-palate with full, rich and highly extracted tannins. Only 220 cases produced.
