Playing it closer to the vest is the outstanding, deep ruby/purple-tinged 2007 Pinot Noir Ampelos Vineyard. Notes of roasted herbs, lavender, black currants, black cherries, and charcoal are accompanied by a deep, structured, layered, impressively endowed, shy Pinot that is loaded with potential. Give it a year or two of cellaring, and enjoy it over the following 8-10 years. Tel. (805) 331-2292
