Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
No oak lets the basic wine show through, but the problem is that it’s unbalanced. It’s sugary sweet in peach and apricot flavors, with a harsh, burnt finish.

Mossback Chardonnay - 2004

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Lots of ripe cherry, chocolate, cola, anise and sandalwood flavors in this Pinot. It’s a little sweet and simple, but likeable for its silky texture and crisp, coastal acidity. Ready now.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Oak dominates this wine, in the form of vanilla, caramel and buttered toast. Under that are simple but tasty flavors of cherries and raspberries. It’s a silky, creamy Pinot Noir for drinking now.

Mossback Pinot Noir - 2008

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Dry and tannic, with intense blackberry and cassis flavors. It’s strong and dense and impressive, with a wonderful mouthfeel. Will it age? Open now through 2014 and see what happens.

Mossback Cabernet Sauvignon - 2007

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Sharp in acidity, and not entirely ripe, with a wintergreen mint zest to the cherries. Needs a rich, well-marbled steak to soften it.

An everyday Chardonnay with a creamy texture and oak-inspired buttered toast notes. The underlying fruit has pineapple and orange flavors.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This is a good Pinot Noir. While it’s not an ager because it’s made for immediate consumption, it does show an elegant structure. Crisp acidity provides balance to the cola, cherry, pomegranate, spice and smoky vanilla flavors.
