Bid on this 2-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 2014 Cirq "Bootlegger's Hill" Russian River Valley Pinot Noir (93VN, 92WS) and 1-bottle of 2015 Cirq "Bootlegger's Hill" Russian River Valley Pinot Noir (95JD). Of the 2015 Cirq "Bootlegger's Hill" Russian River Valley Pinot Noir , Jeb Dunnuck writes: "The 2015 Pinot Noir Bootlegger's Hill was made primarily by Nico Cueva, who’s the winemaker for Kosta Browne. This is a ripe, medium to full-bodied, broad, and expansive effort from the Russian River Valley that offers terrific notes of strawberries and cherry fruit, lots of violets and forest floor nuances, silky tannin, and loads of spice on the finish."

“The 2014 Pinot Noir Bootlegger's Hill is super-expressive today. Sweet tobacco, dried flowers, mint, dried herbs and a burst of orange zest give the 2014 lovely aromatic undertones to play off the red-toned fruit. Silky, pliant and open today, the 2014 is showing beautifully. This is an especially gracious, silky Pinot Noir for Russian River. (AG)” (08/2017)

Wine Spectator
“A very delicate style, with an emphasis on understated cherry, raspberry and red plum notes that glide across the palate. Offers very fine-grained tannins, showing just an edge of earthiness. (JL)” (09/2017)

Due to four years of drought in California, Cirq's 2015 yields were 40-50% of the average. Grown on 26 acres, this vintage consists of clones: 115, 23, 37, 667, CC, Elite, and Pommard. Due to low yields, microfermenters were used. Approximately 90% was fermented in 1-1.5 ton vessels, assuring brilliant phenolics.
