Really delicious, a sweet, spicy, fruity wine that’s like biting into a raspberry, roasted almond, vanilla and cinnamon granola candy bar. That’s no insult. The wine is dry and wonderfully rich in smooth tannins, and enormously complex. Worthy of very fine steak, lamb, tuna and salmon entrees. ——S.H.(5/1/2011)—— 93

An absolutely superb Pinot Noir, sumptuously delicious now, yet capable of mid-term aging. Dry and crisp and rich in fruit, its berry-cherry, rhubarb, cola and spice flavors are balanced with a pleasant minerality and richly fine tannins. Decant this young wine for hours, even overnight.——S.H.(5/1/2010)—— 94
