Pinot on Sonoma Mountain? Yes, if it’s on the Pacific-facing side. Shares much in common with Sonoma Coast Pinots in a ripe vintage. Cherry, spice and peppery-tobacco flavors are framed by soft tannins and crisp acidity. Complex and compelling, this wine changes every second on the palate. —S.H.——S.H.(2/1/2003)—— 93

Tight, firm and tannic, with an earthy, cedary edge to the racy blackberry and cherry flavors, finishing with mineral and herb notes. Needs a little time to soften. Best from 2001 through 2006. 70 cases made. -JL
