My favorite is the impressive 2008 Pinot Noir Ashley’s Vineyard. Deep plum/ruby to the rim, with a complex nose of black raspberries, black cherries, cola, earth, and forest floor, this broad, savory, full-bodied Pinot is impressively endowed with admirable purity and length. Drink this beauty over the next 7-8 years. Given the recent death of Fess Parker, it was emotional to taste through his wines. As I indicated in the Rhone Ranger report, he was a great man as well as a visionary. Tel. (805) 688-1545

Young now, with unintegrated oak, acidity and fruit. The parts want to come together, but need time. Really potent in cherry, currant, orange zest, licorice, Indian spice and sandalwood flavors that finish dry and intense. Give it until mid-2011. ——S.H.(10/1/2010)—— 90
