The main thing about this Pinot Noir is the richness. It’s bold and sumptuous, with flavors of raspberries, cherries, pomegranates, persimmons and cola, accented by oak and brightened by brisk acidity. With its delicious finish, it’s a pretty wine to drink now. — (8/1/2012) —89

This Pinot is made in a lighter style, but it’s complex and interesting. It’s marked by dryness and acidic crispness. The raspberry, cola and persimmon flavors are enriched with a touch of sweet, smoky oak. Seems best now, but it could surprise over the next six years.——S.H.(6/1/2011)—— 91

Here’s a pretty, polished Pinot for drinking now with a nice steak. It’s dry and silky, with good varietal flavors of cherries, cola, rhubarb, grilled mushrooms and smoky oak, finished with dusty spices. There’s even a touch of barnyard.——S.H.(5/1/2010)—— 87
