Notable for its soft texture, thoroughly ripe fruit, and richness of mouthfeel, which is what you want in Pinot Noir. It’s not an ager, but so deliciously refined, you want to keep drinking. Shows ripe raspberries and cherries, with their liqueur counterparts, and the sweet smokiness of oak.——S.H.(11/1/2010)—— 93

An enormously fruity wine whose main appeal is its vast array of flavor. Cherries, raspberries, red currants, licorice, Dr. Pepper cola and milk chocolate flood the mouth, offset by crisp acidity and accented with sweet oak. Best now for its soft deliciousness. ——S.H.(10/1/2010)—— 89
