The primary, backward 2004 Pinot Noir Halleck Vineyard displays a deep ruby color, superb fruit on the attack, blacker/bluer fruits in the mouth, subtle wood and floral notes, and an interesting minerality. This impressive Pinot Noir should be at its best with another 1-2 years of bottle age and last for up to a decade. Tel. (707) 829-8170; Fax (707) 829-5349

The 2002 Pinot Noir Halleck Vineyard Estate is varietal-like. Its deep ruby color is followed by a gamy, meaty nose filled with aromas of compost, sweet cherries, plums, and currants, attractive layers of fruit, a heady, sumptuous finish, and plenty of silky tannin. Drink this impressive Pinot over the next 4-5 years.Tel. (707) 829-8170
