Just beautiful, so well-crafted and balanced. With an edge of tannins and acids, could be an ager for a while. Shows a delicate structure, with cherry cola, raspberry, orange peel, vanilla and anise flavors that taste sweetly appealing, but are really bone dry. Now though 2012.——S.H.(9/1/2009)—— 93

This is a terrific vineyard. Miner’s ’05 Rosella’s is a deliciously compelling wine, dry and complex. With its gently polished tannins and adequate acidity, the blackberry, cherry, cola and cinnamon spice flavors are wrapped into a beautiful texture. Drink now through 2009.——S.H.(12/1/2007)—— 90

As is typical of Pinots from this appellation, the wine is fruit-driven. We’re talking a huge mouthfeel of cherry-rhubarb pie and oak-influenced cocoa-dusted peanut brittle flavors, but fortunately the wine is totally dry, and maintains a keen, acidic silkiness. Drink this big Pinot with strongly flavored food. ——S.H.(10/1/2006)—— 92
