The oak stands out on this young Pinot Noir, giving it a sweet, smoky caramelized aroma and taste. The underlying cherry fruit isn’t strong enough to support all that wood. Drink now.——S.H.(3/1/2010)—— 84

A low-yield (one ton to the acre) mountain wine, tremendously complex and probably ageworthy. With concentrated cherry, black raspberry, cola and mocha flavors weighted by a deeper, earthier, mushroomy note and tons of Asian spice, it’s entirely dry, with a beautiful tannin-acid balance. Drink now–2010.——S.H.(2/1/2007)—— 94

There are rich tannins and a fairly dense mouthfeel to this Pinot, making it a bit ponderous now, although it may improve over the next three to five years. It’s a dry wine, with good cherry fruit and significant oak. It feels low in acidity, and lacking zest. ——S.H.(7/1/2006)—— 86
