This winery is probably finding it too easy to sell their wines after its profile in the highly popular movie, Sideways. Despite the fact that the wines come from a certified organic vineyard, there is not much to this 2002 Pinot Noir. A dark ruby/purple color is followed by a wine with pushed extraction, and nearly excessive notes of smoky, spicy, new oak. There are some pleasant currant and cherry characteristics, but the wine falls off on the palate, revealing a clipped, dry, angular finish. Drink it over the next 1-3 years.Tel. (805) 688-3300
