The vineyard lies between Freestone and Bodega Bay, one of the coolest parts of the far Sonoma Coast. The wine is fairly pale for a California Pinot Noir, with nuanced flavors of toast, spices, raspberries and persimmons, in a silky, vibrant texture. The oak application has not yet been fully integrated. Give it 2–4 years in the bottle.

From the estate vineyard, west of Sebastopol. Made in a lighter-colored, ligher-bodied style than most Russian River Pinot Noirs, the wine shows flashy toast, raspberry, cherry, cinnamon and clove aromas and flavors. A complex, elegant young wine that should develop over the next six years.

Sweet, spicy oak-dominated nose, smoky with hints of green herbs and minerals; sweet, smooth and very round in the mouth; this wine seems to have forgotten about acidity; lots of sweet oak though, very ripe fruit flavors, almost thick and with a waxy feel; better at the end as finally there is some lemon and citrus in the form of sweet Meyer lemon flavors and a touch of lemon peel bitterness at the end; too fat for me though. (15.5/20)
