Strikes a fine balance between fresh, ripe cherry and berry fruit and notes wet rock, fresh earth and savory herb. Full-bodied, young and tight, gaining depth on the finish. Drink now through 2018. 437 cases made. —J.L.

"This ripe, rich, cola- and sassafras-laced Pinot shows dried currant and berry flavors, with touches of herb, sage, sour cherry and spice. Turns supple midpalate, ending with ripe, fleshy tannins. Drink now through 2015. 294 cases made." — James Laube

“Good deep red. Red berries, blueberry, spices and orange peel on the nose. Perfumed and pure in the mouth, with nice definition and a light touch to the flavors of red fruits and rose petal. Supple and sweet, but given a juiciness and good lift by healthy acidity. Finishes with light tannins.” -Stephen Tanzer

"This is an amazing Pinot Noir. It showcases its classic vintage, yielding massive flavors of cherries and raspberries that are so rich and ripe, they approach liqueur. Yet the wine maintains a perfect balance of coastal acidity and fine tannins. Gorgeously oaked and smoky, it’s a beauty now, and should slide through the next 4-5 years." - Steve Heimoff
