Considerably riper than Baileyana’s other Pinots. It shows in the richer, softer mouthfeel and deeper flavors. The red cherries veer toward blackberries, yet the texture remains silky and dry. New oak, as always, is judiciously applied. Delicious now, and should develop over the next 3–4 years.——S.H.(2/1/2010)—— 91

Riper by a hair than its Pommard Clone neighbor, showing tart red cherry flavors. Dry and crisp in acids, with a silky, velvety texture, this medium-bodied wine has good balance. Drink now with rich meats.——S.H.(11/1/2004)—— 89
