A gorgeous Pinot Noir that combines cool, classic Sonoma Coast with the Siduri style of lush fruit. This wine is not a blockbuster, but is extraordinarily good now, with grilled blackberry, cherry, cola, cinnamon, clove and anise flavors. Does the magical trick of balancing power and delicacy. Now through 2010. ——S.H.(11/1/2008)—— 92

The medium ruby-colored, spicy 2005 Pinot Noir Terra di Promissio Vineyard possesses red currant and sweet cherry characteristics along with a kirsch-like component. With soft tannin and decent acidity, it can be drunk now and over the next 3-4 years. Tel. (707) 578-3882; Fax (707) 578-3884
