Note di degustazione
The 2007 Pinot Noir Flax Vineyard possesses one of the deepest ruby colors of all these Pinots as well as a big, sweet nose of boysenberries, black cherries, earth, and spice. Rich and medium to full-bodied, it is among the most generous, sumptuous, and accessible of these offerings. It should continue to drink well for a decade or more. The single vineyard Pinot Noirs are made from a wide range of California vineyards, primarily in the north, with Russian River and Sonoma Coast dominating, but there is also an Anderson Valley site (Ferrington), San Benito site (Vista Verde), and Yorkville Highlands (Weir). The Chardonnays are nearly as powerful as the Zinfandels in terms of alcohol strength, ranging from 14.5% to 14.8%. Tel. (707) 433-6425; Fax (707) 433-6546

(100% Pommard clone) Inky ruby. Deep, youthfully brooding cherry and dark berry skin scents are complicated by anise and black tea. Very rich, with fleshy blackberry and kirsch flavors, a chewy texture and slow-building tannins. The tannins gain power on the finish, which strongly echoes the cherry and licorice notes. No way I'd touch this one for at least another five years.
