The 2003 Pinot Noir Ashley’s Vineyard’s undistinguished medium ruby/garnet-tinged color is accompanied by a projected, intensely spicy (allspice), gamy nose with sweet strawberry and cherry notes, broad, round flavors, good acidity, and moderate tannin. This is as close to a top Gevrey-Chambertin premier cru as one is likely to find in California. It should drink well for 5-6 years. Tel. (805) 452-5609
