The vineyard is across the road from Bien Nacido, and the wine shows many of the same qualities as that famed property. This Pinot is big, dry and dusty, with some fairly grippy tannins. Yet it has the purity and silky mouthfeel of great Pinot Noir, with a crushed brown spice taste that hovers over ripe cherry-berry, cola and mocha flavors. Decant for a few hours before serving.——S.H.(2/1/2007)—— 93
