93 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2008

($60) Good deep red. Captivating aromas of red and darker berries, spices and rose petal. Fat, plump and impressively concentrated flavors of blackberry and blueberry, nicely framed by harmonious acidity. Finishes long and powerful, with superb noble tannins. This was the first pinot vineyard picked in 2006, noted Anne Moses.

Adored by critics, prized by collectors, Pinot Noir is one of most tantalizing yet temperamental varietals in the world. For many wine enthusiasts, this is part of the appeal of Pinot -- it doesn't reveal its charms easily. Pinot Noir's virtue also stems from the unique characteristics of the grape. The skins are especially delicate, which accounts for the lighter color and body of finished wine. But, despite the delicacy, the best wines have excellent backbone and...
