This is the winery’s top cuvee, a winemaker’s selection, limited to just 305 cases. It is indeed the standout bottle from the 2007 vintage, with more fruit, more muscle, more spice, more depth. Wild berries, plums, cinnamon and licorice pile into the midpalate, with firm tannins and an elegant glide. The fruit is beautifully showcased, the oak an accent, as it should be.——P.G.(12/15/2009)—— 90

The Signature Cuvee opens on a floral note, a pretty and beguiling blend of roses and orchids. The midpalate is substantial and textured, offering spicy plum, strawberry and raspberry preserves and firm acids. The fruit flavors persist even as the tannins and barrel notes kick in, offering cocoa, ground coffee and walnut. All in all, an elegant and complex effort that should also age nicely for up to a decade.——P.G.(7/1/2008)—— 91

This is a very nice bottle of Pinot, with sweet flavors of strawberry preserves. Spice and jam-packed, it’s all about the fruit, ripe and round and delicious. The 18 months in French oak have not overloaded it with toast or vanilla; just a dash of sweet barrel flavor.——P.G.(2/1/2008)—— 88
