Note di degustazione
The dense ruby/purple-tinged 2007 Pinot Noir Precious Mountain Vineyard exhibits a sweet, kirsch, floral, and raspberry-scented nose (reminiscent of a Rayas Chateauneuf du Pape), medium to full body, good acidity, and a distinctive, relatively intense personality. It should keep for 10-15 years. This wine is still a baby, but its aromatics are sensational. 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

Medium red. Seductive aromas of blackberry, kirsch, spice cake and potpourri, with a subtle mineral undercurrent. Weighty dark berry flavors are impressively pure, with a smoky cola-like quality emerging with air. While this is a tad brooding today, the power and purity of its fruit are impressive, and the finish is deeply sweet, focused and extremely long. Hands off, for a while.
