The Byron winery, which was acquired by Robert Mondavi in 1990, continues to turn out attractive Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Improvements are warranted with respect to the Pinot Noir program. Byron's Pinot Noirs lack aromatic and flavor dimension. The 1992 Pinot Noir-Reserve, which has not yet been released, displays some elegance and a spicy, red fruit character, but comes across on the palate as simple, light, short, and compact. Tel.
