  A good Pinot Noir, dry and elegantly structured, with flavors of cherries, currants and oak. Turns a bit sharp as you taste, with a bite of acidity. Will foil well against a juicy steak. The grapes were organically certified.

  This bottling has been getting steadily richer and better over the years and has now reached the point where it's an authentic Carneros beauty. The '06 is a Pinot Noir to drink now, to savor its rasp-berry and cherry freshness, crispness and silky texture.
