Ripe and fleshy, with a generous mix of ripe plum, wild berry and black cherry fruit that's well-centered, gaining body and complexity on the finish. Drink now through 2011. 425 cases made. -JL

A lovely Pinot Noir, dry and crisp, with a silky texture that provides a fine alternative to heavier reds. Shows modest cherry skin, raspberry, red currant, anise and cola flavors that disappear in a swirl of Asian spices. Drink now for its youthful verve.——S.H.(10/1/2008)—— 90
