Deep red.  Complex, vaguely smoky aromas of black raspberry, cherry, black tea and sassafras.  Youthfully taut on entry but turns suave and silky in the middle, showing good intensity and focus to the dark berry and bitter cherry flavors.  The firm finish features good length and harmonious tannins.  This structured, well-balanced and somewhat masculine pinot could use a year or two to stretch out.

Drinks more Oregonian than Californian. Alcohol detrimental to the open. Dark cherry, some cardamom and white oak. When some of the alcohol finally dissipates, it really starts to shine, but it does take significant time. 89 at PnP; 90 by hour 4

Excellent fruity pinot. Not a great deal of complexity, but a very good bottle - will buy this when offered again.

Powerful consumer interest in California wine is driven by two major factors. The more obvious reason is that California's best wines, which come from grapes grown in...

Pinot Noir

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...
