Certainly his gorgeous 2006 Pinot Noir Savoy Vineyard is one of the stars of that vintage. Boysenberry, blueberry, spring flowers, and crushed rock are followed by a wine with sweetness of tannin, medium to full body, layers of concentrated fruit, and no hard edges. The acid gives uplift and more aromatic penetration, and the tannins provide a certain framework but are sweet, and the overall impression is Pinot Noir of tremendous purity. It should be drunk in the first 5-8 years of life.. Radio-Coteau is another great success story, with proprietor Eric Sussman producing small-lot, handcrafted wines. Everything is fermented naturally, there are no enzymes, acidulations, very low SO2 is utilized, and the wines are bottled in-house, with neither fining nor filtration. This is always an exciting line-up of wines that remain fairly priced. While I always think of Sussman as a master with his red wine varietals, such as Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Zinfandel, he certainly impressed me with his two vintages of Chardonnay from the very cool-climate Savoy Vineyard of Anderson Valley.
