Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This is really lovely. The aromas are true to the variety, elegant and floral, with an undertone of dusty cocoa. Flavors follow. In the mouth it tastes of raspberries and rose petals, with pretty chocolate milk flavors in the finish, which lingers gracefully, a very fine, though delicate, bottle.

Hollywood Hill Pinot Noir - 2009

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This unusual blend, all estate grown, is 70% Pinot Noir, 20% Regent, and 10% Agria. The Regent and Agria contribute color and tannin, black fruits and spices, but the elegance of the Pinot Noir remains. Nicely made, showing pretty black cherry fruit and just a hint of leather.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Elegant, aromatic, and expressive in the nose, this blossoms into a pleasing mix of berries, cherries, bark, spice and sassafras. Good acidity, with a lick of chocolate in the tannins and the finish. Though very light for Syrah, this has good balance and length.

Hollywood Hill Syrah - 2008

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This has good color, good texture, wild berry fruits, juicy acidity and light hints of tea and earth. It is a little bolder, and a little chewier than the winery’s other Syrah, with more substantial tannins.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The Elerding Six Prong vineyard is the fruit source, yielding a lean, smoky Mourvèdre with 10% Syrah in the blend. Clean and spicy, with tart fruit flavors of strawberry and pomegranate. The tannins are drying and leave an impression of chalk.

Hollywood Hill Mourvèdre - 2008

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This Rhône blend is scented with sharp-toned berry, spice, and menthol and it has an herbaceous note that is well-integrated and set against light tannins. Don’t look for a lot of sweet fruit; this is more European, herbal and firm. A fine food wine.
