A bit light in body, but rich in raspberries, cherries, pomegranates, cola and spicy vanilla, with a smoky coating of oak. Excellent Central Coast acidity perks things up. Drink now with a nice steak. ——S.H.(12/1/2011)—— 88

A really nice Pinot Noir, rich and silky, with gentle tannins and fine, crisp acidity. It’s delicately structured, but powerful in raspberry, rosehip tea, vanilla, spice and sandalwood flavors. An upscale wine that gets better as it breathes in the glass. ——S.H.(5/1/2011)—— 92

Ripe and soft, with juicy flavors of blackberries, cherries, mulberries, cola, bacon and pepper, with a sweet, smoky edge of sandalwood from oak barrels. Delicious and easy. Drink now.——S.H.(12/1/2009)—— 87
