點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：2125

Creamy (but well-integrated) oak is present in the 2004 Pinot Noir Rio Vista Vineyard. Its dark plum/blue/purple color is followed by aromas of black currants, blackberries, and black cherries intermixed with licorice, smoke, and spice. Rich and concentrated, it pushes ripeness to the limit, but there is no hint of prunes or raisins. Drink it over the next 5-6 years. Tel. (805) 938-5050

Although this is a very good wine, it’s one of the least of Tan tara’s current single-vineyard Pinots. A victim of excessive sweetness, which may be from high alcohol, everything in it seems thrown off, hot. The flavors, though, are delicious, a melange of cherry, blueberry and blackberry pie filling. ——S.H.(12/31/2006)—— 87
