Beautiful and gentle, yet quite complex. It hits the palate with pure silk and satin, so airy and lilting you first think it’s a lightweight. Then the flavors hit. Waves of raspberries and cherries, spices and herbs, cola and soy and vanilla unroll across the palate. Compellingly tasty, and a great expression of the far Sonoma Coast.——S.H.(11/1/2004)—— 91
