Med ruby colored and going a little gamey, the 2010 Long Gully Pinot Noir opens with a core of warm red currants, red plums and black florest cake plus a touch of black tea.

Medium ruby- purple colored, the 2008 Long Gully Pinot Noir provides intense black cherry and kirsch aroma with layers of spice and earth aromas: cinnamon, cloves, forest floor and truffles. Elegant, medium bodied with excellent structure of high acid and medium-firm fine grained tannins, the flesh is still a little tight though the persistence is superb. It should drink best 2012 to 2016. Importer: American Estates Wines, www.eamericanestates.com

Better is the 2007 Long Gully Pinot Noir with a beguiling nose, well defined with dark cherry fruits, redcurrant and a touch of plum. Very well integrated oak here lending it a polished feel. The palate is medium-bodied, supple tannins, very good structure with a great sense of harmony. It has a lovely, caressing plum and raspberry-flavored finish that lingers seductively. Excellent.Importer: American Estates Wines, Summit, NJ; tel. (908) 273-5060; fax (908) 273-5068
