The 2009 Pinot Noir is a gorgeous wine bursting with dark cherries, spices and sweet French oak. It shows fabulous textural richness and depth, especially for an entry-level offering. This is a tasty, accessible Pinot to drink now and over the next few years. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014. This line up from Fess Parker is impressive. A number of the higher-end wines are delicious, but I was most struck by the quality of several of the estate’s entry-level offerings. These are some of the very finest values in California.Tel.

Here’s a good Pinot to drink now from this esteemed producer. It’s dry and easy to like, with raspberry and cherry flavors, wrapped into spicy oak. ——S.H.(12/1/2011)—— 87

The 2008 Pinot Noir displays beautifully sweet, consumer-friendly strawberry and black cherry fruit flavors with hints of underbrush and spice box. It is medium to dark ruby, has moderate concentration, attractive spice, and loads of berry fruit in a velvety textured, user-friendly style. Drink it over the next 2-3 years. Given the recent death of Fess Parker, it was emotional to taste through his wines. As I indicated in the Rhone Ranger report, he was a great man as well as a visionary.Tel. (805) 688-1545
