點擊次數(shù)：2617

A beautiful, polished Pinot Noir that offers loads of flavor, while preserving the vital acidity that keeps the wine fresh and balanced. Cherries, raspberries, root beer, vanilla, cinnamon and smoky sandalwood flood the mouth, wrapped into a silky texture. Drink now through 2013. ——S.H.(8/1/2009)—— 94

The grapes are from the Green Valley. The 2006 vintage was very cool, and this wine doesn’t seem entirely ripe. There’s a green, mint and stem taste to the cherry fruit, and the tannins are astringent. But the oak regimen is beautiful, and a lamb chop will not be a bad pairing.——S.H.(9/1/2008)—— 84

Smells herbal and minty, which is strange given the vintage’s heat, and tastes earthy, too, with oregano and barely ripe cherry flavors. Turns dry and crisp on the finish. Consider this an elegant style.——S.H.(10/1/2006)—— 85
