Fragrant aromas of damp earth, fresh mushrooms, gravel, anise, plums, and cherries emerge from the 2001 Pinot Noir Blue Slide Ridge, which reveals this vineyard’s distinctive perfume and singular quality. An atypical notion of herbaceousness is also present. Drink this gamy, rich, complex 2001 over the next 7-10 years. Tel. (707) 258-3608; Fax (707) 942-5633
