* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Imagery has worked hard with this vineyard, and in this near-perfect vintage has crafted a very good wine. It’s young, thick and juicy, with elaborate fruit flavors and oak, and a touch of brashness. Best to leave it alone for a few years.

Bigtime Pet here, an enormously ripe and extracted wine. It’s huge in chocolate and cassis flavors that are almost sweet, although the wine is totally dry and balanced. The tannins are smooth enough to drink tonight with appropriately sized chow.

This dark, heavy wine is fully dry, but has ripe flavors of blackberries, blueberries and black cherries that are so sweet, they verge on chocolate. It’s a big wine that calls for roasts and similar fare.

Lovely aromas of mint and blackberry are penetrating and individualistic. In the mouth, it tastes strong and powerful, with persistant spicy, peppery blackberry flavors, jammy and delicious. Sleek tannins and crisp acidity add body to this elegant wine.

Opens with blackberry aromas complexed with smoky oak, white chocolate and roasted coffeebean. In the mouth, sumptuous fruitiness. It's a jammy wine, with wild berry flavors framed with oak and soft tannins. This likeable wine is ideal with roasts.

Dark, with oaky, plummy aromas and a touch of earthy, mushroomy funk. Drinks fairly tannic, although the acidity is low, with sunny, ripe, fruit and berry flavors. Nicely dry. The finish picks up the tannic theme again.

Sauteed mushrooms, leather and hung meat aromas introduce this deeply colored wine, which seems exceptionally soft, with low tannins. The berry flavors veer toward blackberries and black rasberries. It;s very dry. Try with barbecue or roasted chicken.

Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Meunier comprise this smooth, suave white wine. It’s got Chard-like features modulated with a nutty, flowery streak, and is very dry, with an overlay of smoky oak.

. A delightfully intriguing “White Burgundy” blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Meunier, the last an unexpected surprise, the fruit sourced from both the Sangiacomo and Yountmill vineyards. The wine is light and yet lush, with an inviting nose of sweet apricot and apple pie, and a roundness to the mouthfeel. This would pair nicely with a buttery halibut but also stand well on its own as an apéritif.

A remarkably rich and dense wine, considering the poor reputation of the vintage. It is stuffed with blackberry and cherry fruit that is well oaked, with vanilla, spice and smoky nuances. It’s lush and supple, with the texture of velvet. You almost hate to swallow, but the finish is long and suave.
