"A ripe, pure and well-layered nose of primarily red berry fruit aromas that offer excellent breadth from the presence of the pretty floral nuances that introduce supple and well-detailed broad-scaled flavors that possess really lovely detail on the racy, intense and long finish. This stunning and very firm effort needs a few years to soften and completely harmonize. *Outstanding*" -Allen Meadows

"Vivid red. Sexy, high-pitched aromas of raspberry, cherry, Asian spices and pungent herbs. Juicy, sharply focused red berry and bitter cherry flavors gain sweetness with air and pick up a suave candied rose quality. A juicy, precise midweight that finishes with noteworthy clarity and spicy persistence. This will age on its balance." -Josh Raynolds

"There is not much color to the 2008 Pinot Noir Estate (light ruby, faded garnet), but the wonderful sweet cherry, currant and spring floral notes of the aromatics are endearing. With silky tannins, medium to full body, and a lot more flavor than the delicate color suggests, this wine is very approachable and probably best drunk over the next 7-8 years, although it might surprise me and last longer." -Robert M. Parker, Jr.

"Fragrant, delicate plum and black cherry fruit is pure, focused, complex, elegant and full-bodied. Very Burgundian in its weight and purity."

"A brilliant Pinot Noir, dry and enormously concentrated in mountain cherries, raspberries, strawberries and sweet oak. Completely delicious now, but with the acidity, minerality and balance to evolve over the next six years, at least."
