The 2008 Pinot Noir Balcombe Block 1B displays an alluring bouquet of toasty red fruits, spice box, and incense, leading to a sweetly-fruited wine with an abundance of cherry and raspberry flavors. Elegant, intense, and precise, it merits 2-3 years of cellaring and will offer a drinking window extending from 2013 to 2023. Veteran vigneron Patricia (Patty) Green was the original winemaker at Torii Mor before purchasing the old Autumn Wind Winery in 2000 along with partner Jim Anderson and renaming it Patricia Green Cellars.

All of the Patricia Green wines are fermented naturally, see about one-third new oak, and only Cadus barrels are used in the cellar.
