Tasting Notes
Even more stunning is the 2013 Pinot Noir, which received similar treatment to the 2012. This wine shows complex forest floor notes, damp earth and Asian plum sauce interwoven with blackcurrant and black cherry as well as hints of underbrush and spring flowers. Deep, rich, complex and showing loads of fruit, it should be drunk over the next 5-7 years.
Boar’s View is the Sonoma Coast outpost of the Schraders, who are so famous for their Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons over in Napa. Boar’s View is a 10-acre hilltop planted with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, overseen by vineyard manager Ulises Valdez and winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown, who also makes the Cabernet Sauvignons under the Schrader moniker. They chose to plant Old Wente for their Chardonnay vineyard, and for the Pinot Noir, they utilized the California heritage clones, such as Calera, Mt. Eden and Swan. The first vintages are impressive, but production in 2012 was virtually nothing. The real production started in 2013. Given the limited release, although there are 948 cases of the 2013 Pinot Noir, I’ll keep my notes relatively short.
