The 2004 Pinot Noir Julia’s Vineyard offers sweet black cherry and currant fruit, a broad, expansive palate, and tremendous opulence as well as length. It is a hedonistic, authentic tasting, full-bodied, velvety-textured Pinot to enjoy over the next 3-4 years. As the back label says, this wine was bottled “delicately ... without fining or filtration.” Bravo to proprietors and winemakers Bill Wathen and Dick Dore. Tel. (805) 937-4251
