A huge Pinot Noir, rich and delicious. Shows great terroir, like it really comes from somewhere. A little soft in acids, but enormously lush in cherries and raspberries, with a firm minerality that must come from the ground. Aging could be a problem given the softness, but it’s lovely now. ——S.H.(6/1/2011)—— 92

This is a very nice Pinot Noir for drinking soon. It’s dry, silky and somewhat earthy and herbal, but turns rich in cherries toward the finish. Feels elegant and complex all the way through. ——S.H.(6/1/2011)—— 91
