black ridge pinot noir (santa cruz mountains)

點擊次數(shù)：3123

Quite as good as the excellent ’07, maybe even better, as it shows a little more structure behind the raspberry and cherry flavors. Tastes really good, a silky, spicy and dry wine that’s a pleasure to drink. What a shame how little Pinot is actually grown in the Santa Cruz Mountains. ——S.H.(4/1/2011)—— 93

With juicy acidity to balance the richness, this is a fine coastal Pinot to have with lamb, beef, salmon and such. It offers a burst of cherries, black raspberries, currants, sweet rhubarb pie, mocha and spices, with considerable oak, but that savory acidity gives it a racy finish. Now–2013.——S.H.(11/1/2009)—— 92

A racy, clean and pure Pinot Noir that shows succulent flavors of raspberries, cherries, oranges, cola, smoky vanilla, cloves, pepper and cinnamon, wrapped into a lightly elegant texture. Marked by considerable acidity, the wine should hold and modestly improve for up to six years.——S.H.(11/1/2008)—— 91
