They have produced a delicious 2008 Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands, with the bulk of the grapes coming from the Rosella’s Vineyard and the rest from the Pisoni and Garys’ Vineyards. Round and seductive, with loads of plum, raspberry, and black cherry fruit, medium to full body, and silky tannins, this is a pleasure-filled, luscious style of Pinot to drink over the next 3-4 years. This admirable winery seems to be very consistent and offers good value for their wines. Tel. (707) 578-3882; Fax (707) 578-3884
