The black cherry, rose, and blackberry-scented 1999 Pinot Noir Rion Reserve is produced from a barrel selection of the Ridgecrest Vineyard. Medium to full-bodied and layered, with candied berries, compotes of cherries, and jammy strawberries, it is a broad, big, muscular wine with an elegant character and an impressively long, supple, fruit-filled finish. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2012.
