This winery appears to have the right ideas about winemaking and marketing, but the results have been inconsistent. The 1989 Pinot Noir regular cuvee reveals good depth, a chunky, medium-bodied, corpulent style as well as spicy wood, herbs, and black fruit notes in its flavor and finish. At the tasting, I also tasted two wines I had liked considerably more when tasted a few years ago. The 1985 Pinot Noir-Dundee Hills and 1985 Pinot Noir-Maresh Vineyard have both lost much of their fruit and taken on a hard, tannic, malnourished character as they continue to dry out with the acids and tannins the principle components left in the wine's composition.More concentration and less reliance on new oak, in addition to lowering the tannin levels, plus earlier bottling and earlier release dates might solve some of these problems.
