Similar to the winery’s ’05 Russian River bottling in the ripeness of the fruit and tannins, but somehow fresher, although it’s still a big, full-bodied Pinot Noir. Maybe it’s the acidity that makes the framboise and cherry flavors come alive. Deeper notes of Portobello mushrooms and balsamic suggest moderate aging possibilities. Drink now through 2009.——S.H.(8/1/2007)—— 91
