Big, juicy fruit, bolstered by tannins, gives this wine weight and impressive structure. There is a dry core surrounded by ripe plums, herbs and fresh spices , resulting in soft, juicy freshness. But those tannins promise aging potential.——R.V.(3/1/2008)—— 93

Rather dense, tannic and dusty, this wine shows a harder side of Pinot Noir. Fresh strawberry flavors appear, but the toughness dominates. ——R.V.(3/1/2007)—— 87

A smooth, silky wine, but one that also shows weight and promise. Its tannins are integrated well with the big, black fruit flavors. This is a huge wine, which will be a blockbuster to drink in 10 years. Imported by USA Wine Imports. ——R.V.(9/1/2005)—— 91
