* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Brilliant acidity gives this wine a clean raciness that so many Sauvignon Blancs lack. It has ripe, forward flavors of lemons, limes, apricots, peaches and honey, but despite the richness is dry and minerally.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Here’s a rich, spicy Pinot Noir for drinking now. Dry and silky, it has plenty of ripe raspberry, cherry, cola and rhubarb fruit, with a good application of sweetly toasted oak. Could be a little crisper, which limits ageworthiness.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

A solid Pinot Noir, silky and rich in raspberry, cherry and smoky oak flavors. Notable for its silky texture and balancing acidity, it’s a lovely wine to drink now and over the next few years.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

A very fruity wine, almost sweet in jammy raspberries, cherries, pomegranates and persimmons. Has just enough acidity to give it life and zest. Best now and over the next 4–5 years.

Lots of ripe strawberries, raspberries and sweet smoky oak in this silky young Pinot Noir. It tastes a bit too extracted and jammy for subtlety, but sure does offer a mouthful of flavor.

Lots to like in this four-year-old Merlot. It’s fully dry and not too fruity, with rich blackberry, sage, anise and oak flavors that are complex and long. On the minus side, the wine is too soft, lacking the vital acidity and tannins needed for structure.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

A bit too tannic and acidic, with a hard edge that interferes with the palate’s enjoyment of the pure, refined raspberry, cherry, cola and sandalwood flavors. A good, distinguished Pinot, but lacks voluptuousness due to the coarseness. Drink now.

A good, polished Pinot for drinking now. It’s brisk in acidity and has a hint of green mint, but the raspberry, cherry and cedar flavors are delicious.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

A very fine Pinot Noir that shows deep, impressively ripe flavors of raspberry and cherry tart, red currant, licorice and Asian spices, with a rich coating of smoky oak. It’s entirely dry, and has a brisk scour of acidity. Seems best now and for the next few years.

This is a very nice, classy wine to drink now with a good steak or mushroom risotto or anything friendly to a dry, elegant California Pinot Noir. It’s brisk in acidity, with polished raspberry, cherry, red currant, anise and sandalwood flavors.
