Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Very tightly wound in high acidity and even some tannins, with austere, aloof citrus flavors. There’s not a lot of appeal to this wine now, except a certain dry, yeasty elegance. It’s like a sparkling blanc de blancs without the bubbles.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Almost all Pinots grown in these mountains south of San Francisco overlooking Silicon Valley need time in the bottle. This one certainly does. Right now, it’s tannic and acidic, and the primary raspberry, cherry and blood orange flavors are reaching out to—but haven’t found, much less embraced—the French oak. Give it a good 4–5 years in the cellar.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Superrich in jammy raspberry, cherry and cola flavors, almost sweet, except it’s technically dry. Shows firm acidity and even some dusty tannins, but the fruit is the alpha and omega, dominating everything. Drink now.
