Winery - Atticus

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This debut effort from a small, family-owned winery offers light, pretty scents of Dr. Pepper, red berries, rose petals and vanilla. It’s a delicate wine, sculpted to capture the nuances of Pinot, without attempting to bulk it up unnecessarily. The flavors play out sweetly across the palate, finishing with milk chocolate and spice.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The 2006 is a richer vintage than this winery’s 2005, showing more heat, more density and more of the milk chocolate in the finish. What it gains in weight it loses in elegance; it’s a stand-off really. Winemaker Scott Shull does his usual careful job with the fruit, getting the most from the particulars of the vintage.
