The sensational 1993 Cuvee Catherine possesses a smoky, sweet, earthy, black fruit character reminiscent of a top premier or grand cru from Vosne-Romanee. In the mouth the wine displays exquisite richness and ripeness, a fleshy, voluptuous texture, and a stunning finish. It should drink well for 7-8 years. It is clearly one of the finest Pinot Noirs I have tasted from California. Tel. (707) 996-5117
