點擊次數(shù)：1303

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. — (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. — (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. — (10/1/2006) —92

This classic cool-climate Pinot Noir shows the crisp acids, silky texture and lush, intricate flavors induced by nighttime fog and daily sunshine. Those flavors run to cherries, with nuances of cola, rhubarb, oaky vanilla and peppery spice. Not only a fun wine, but a complex one that distinguishes the appellation.——S.H.(11/1/2004)—— 92
