I enjoyed the garish 1998 Pinot Noir. Medium ruby-colored, this seductive, sexy Pinot offers candied cherry/strawberry flavors infused with smoke and toasty oak. Full, fleshy, and heady (14.2% alcohol), this is a crowd pleasing, exceptionally well-made wine. Sadly, production is only 1,000 cases. (release date 6/00)Tel. (707) 433-9000; Fax (707) 433-9469
