Rated vintages

    Tart, with an acidic mouthfeel that intrudes on the ripe cherry, red currant and cola flavors. Could be a bit more mellow. May develop for a few years, but that sharpness isn't likely to go away.

  • 200686 pts

    A bit burnt in grilled cherry fruit and tart in acidity, but otherwise it's a nice, silky Pinot Noir, with pleasant spice and sandalwood flavors. Drink now.

  • 200590 pts

    This is a worthy followup to the 2004. It's softly silky and dryly elegant, a creamy, complex wine with luscious red currant, cola, licorice and mocha flavors. Made largely from Dijon clones, it's best now for its juicy youthfulness.
