This vineyard really shines in this vintage, sending up concentrated aromas of blackberry and raspberry fruit. It leads into a ripe, plump and gently rounded mid-palate, with Burgundian balance. Sweet plum and cherry fruit, hints of cocoa, no overt oak and pleasingly soft tannins all contribute to this graceful wine.——P.G.(1/3/2007)—— 90

Concentrated flavors of Kirschwasser, blackberry and raspberry. Intense and alcoholic, with some heat in the finish. Plump, round and full-bodied, with soft tannins and a hit of alcohol in the finish. ——P.G.(5/1/2006)—— 89
