Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A bit soft and direct, but appeals for its rich flavors of pineapples, buttered toast, cinnamon and smoke. Shows a firm minerality at its core. Drink now.

Summerland Chardonnay - 2006

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Overripe and too sweet, a Porty wine with raisiny, caramel and chocolate flavors, a dense texture, and a sugary finish. That’s just not right for a varietal that supposed to be a dry table wine.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Thin and rather weedy, with modest cherry flavors and smooth tannins. Fulfills the basics.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Simple and tasty, this dry wine has pleasant flavors of cherry pie filling, grilled raspberries, cola, anise and cedar, wrapped into a silky texture. Drink now.

Summerland Pinot Noir - 2007

0 out of 0 people thought this note was helpful.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The real deal from this vineyard and appellation, a cool-climate Chard that bursts with bright tropical fruit flavors and crisp acids. That zesty cleanness is softened and smoothed by creamy oak.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A nice enough Chard for everyday purposes, with some nicely ripened tropical fruit flavors. Has an earthiness in the middle, but finishes fruity and spicy.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A nice, easy wine with some special features. Light in body, silky in texture, with cranberry, cherry, coffee and spice flavors that turn complex on the finish.

Summerland Pinot Noir - 2002

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A Pinot that goes straight down the middle in varietal correctness but isn’t very exciting. Black cherry, oak and spice flavors drink somewhat tannic, and the acidity is quite high.

Summerland Pinot Noir - 2002

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
There are earthy, forest-floor notes here, and also some raisiny ones. The acids are crisp, but tasters felt there was too much heat throughout.

Summerland Pinot Noir - 2002

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Joins its blackberry, cherry fruit with meaty, leathery notes that approach bacon frying in the pan, while oak adds to the smokiness. The flavors are encased in rich, smooth, ripe tannins. It’s very good, but needs some time in the cellar. Try after 2005.
