The 2004 Pinot Noir reveals a dark plum/ruby color, sweet forest floor, pomegranate, plum, and cherry notes, medium to full body, superb integration of wood, acidity, and tannin, and an attractive, complex finish. Already drinking well, this wine should continue to drink well for another 5-7 years. Tel. (707) 257-5300; Fax (707) 257-6022

Fresh and vibrant, showing berry-cherry cola, tea, clove, vanilla and smoky flavors that are just delicious. The wine is accented by youthful acidity. If you like your Pinots young, this is for you. However, it should knit together and improve with some cellaring. Best 2007–2010. ——S.H.(12/1/2006)—— 91
