Expert Reviews

93 Points | International Wine Cellar , September/October 2009

($75; from the home vineyard of Mike and Claudia Weersing, planted on clay-and-limestone soil at a density of 12,000 vines per hectare) Good deep, bright red. Captivating nose offers raspberry, rose petal, smoky earth and flinty minerality. Densely packed and quite complex, in a less fruit-driven style than the Riverbrook, but downright sexy. A broader and more saline wine, with the energy and definition that comes from limestone. Savory, broad and tactile, with palate-saturating persistence. Fascinating soil-driven pinot, especially recommended for fans of biodynamic wine. (Terra Firma Wine Company, Oakland, CA)

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...
