Lots to admire about this polished Pinot Noir. It’s dry and silky in the mouth, with voluptuous flavors of raspberries, cherries, currants, licorice and cola. You’ll also find plenty of zesty acidity. Needs some time to knit together and mellow. Better by late 2010 or 2011.——S.H.(3/1/2010)—— 90

From Dijon Clone 115, the seductive 2004 Pinot Noir exhibits a medium ruby hue as well as a savory, spicy perfume revealing scents of plums, cherry liqueur, and roasted herbs. An expansive mouthfeel, velvety tannin, and a plump, fleshy character suggest it will drink well for 3-4 years. Tel. (707) 963-9160; Fax (707) 963-9161
