2006 was a challenging year for Carneros-grown Pinot Noir. The finest of this trio is the outstanding 2006 Pinot Noir Temblor. A noteworthy achievement in this tough vintage, it exhibits a deep ruby color as well as aromas of cinnamon, allspice, pomegranate, and black cherries. Broad and savory with an excellent texture and a long finish, it should be drunk over the next 4-5 years. Tel. (707) 257-5300; Fax (707) 257-6022

A huge wine, almost Rhone-like in its dark color, thick mouthfeel and cherry flavors. But those cherries are really exotic, suggesting liqueur, and pies spiced with cinnamon, anise, nutmeg and mocha, along with the smoky, buttery sweet pie crust. For all the immediate appeal, it has the tannins and acids to age for a good six years.——S.H.(3/1/2009)—— 93
