This is a good vineyard but I think Dan Goldfield met his match with the hot weather that plagued the harvest. The wine, which has 40% new oak, is ripe and forward in cherry pie, chocolate and cassis flavors. This is initially delicious, but not particularly complex; it’s just too soft. The winemaker suggests pairing with Gouda and Gruyere.——S.H.(6/1/2007)—— 87
