Rich, ripe and classy, this shows real pedigree in its structure, with brisk acids, firm tannins and a hint of minerals providing the architecture for the cherry and pomegranate flavors. It finishes totally dry and is ready to drink now. — (8/1/2012) —90

A decent Pinot, but a bit funky and sharp. Although this Pinot has jammy raspberry flavors, the mouthfeel is awkward, and the finish is simple and sweet. Disappointing from this prestigious winery.——S.H.(8/1/2011)—— 85

This multivineyard blend isn’t cheap, but it’s almost as good as Farrell’s more expensive single-vineyard Pinots, which makes it kind of a value. Like them, it’s a dry, crisply acidic wine, and slightly austere. It shows tobacco-infused cherry pie filling, pomegranate, rhubarb and cola flavors.——S.H.(10/1/2008)—— 91

Tart in acidity and a bit austere, this Pinot has an early-picked quality and shows some immature tannins. It’s an elegant, streamlined wine with good structure, but leaves you wanting more fruit. ——S.H.(12/1/2006)—— 86

Although it’s a bit one-dimensional, this is textbook Pinot Noir. It’s lightly silky and delicate in the mouth, and dry, with crisp acids carrying flavors of cherries, cola and spice. ——S.H.(11/1/2005)—— 85
