The cranberry, sweet cherry, and kirsch liqueur-scented, dark ruby-colored 2003 Pinot Noir Alder Springs Vineyard is expressive aromatically. However, in the mouth, it appears lighter than previous vintages, with medium body, angular tannin, and notions of mint and damp earth in the finish. Although excellent, it is not the finest example from this reliable fruit source. Tel. (707) 265-7700; Fax (707) 265-7708
