The 2006 Pinot Noir Sommer Reserve is a barrel selection. Medium ruby-colored, it exhibits a spicy, toasty, red fruit perfume. This leads to a rich, dense, red fruit-dominated wine with a silky palate feel and a persistent, fruit-filled finish. Drink it over the next five years. Continuity is the custom at Cristom Vineyards where the founder Paul Gerrie remains at the helm and the original winemaker, Steve Doerner still fashions world-class Pinot Noirs. Tel.
