Smoky and soft, this full-bodied, rounded wine tastes of baked raspberry and vanilla, its texture velvety and likably smooth. Concentrated, it retains only moderate acidity, peaking in freshness on the finish.

Lovely, crisp acidity marks this dry, complex Pinot Noir. It's not an ager, but very elegant, with delicate sour-cherry candy, cola and mushroom flavors. A great wine to serve with mushroom-based entrées.

With the '06 Reserve, Beaulieu has crafted a dry, herb-tinged Pinot of great style and sophistication. The cherry, cocoa and tobacco flavors are restrained by California standards, resulting in a wine whose structure stars. Should age, too. Best now through 2012.
