Greenwood suggests cellaring this wine for four years but in the meantime it’s more baked bread than earthy, red fruit and pretty high in acidity. ——V.B.(12/31/2011)—— 84

The winery has struggled with Pinot made from this warm, sunny highland appellation, which is more suitable for Zinfandel. Their ’06 is a savory wine, dry and rich in cherries and oak, with a silky texture. But there’s a heaviness that makes you think Pinot isn’t the best grape to grow this far above the Anderson Valley fogline.——S.H.(4/1/2008)—— 87

You’ll find crisp, bright acids framing very dry flavors of cherries, coffee, cola and rhubarb in this cool-climate wine. It’s not a lush, fleshy Pinot, but one that celebrates its rather austere, elegant structure. ——S.H.(12/31/2005)—— 87

Even in Mendocino, growing Pinot Noir on these sunny ridgetops is controversial. This one is certainly ripe and fruity enough, filled with gobs of black raspberry and cherry flavors, and telltale silky tannins. The appellation may yet define itself for the varietal. But for now, as tasty as it is, it seems heavy-handed, and lacks the subtlety delicacy Pinot wants. —S.H.——S.H.(5/1/2002)—— 86
