The outstanding 2004 Pinot Noir Clone 2A offers aromas of sweet cherries, black currants, underbrush, and oak in its expansive, minty nose. Richly textured in the mouth, it should age well for 5-7 years. The wine is distributed through the well-known importer, Kobrand, of New York City. Their telephone number is (212) 490-9300.

A solid effort, with a rustic delivery of earthy wild berry and blackberry fruit that is supported by firm tannins and offers excellent depth. Drink now through 2009. 249 cases made. -JL

Forward and jammy in blackberry, cherry, pomegranate and coffee flavors, this is certainly a rich, ripe wine, dry and balanced. As good as it is, this single-clone Pinot seems a bit one-dimensional. ——S.H.(11/1/2006)—— 87
