Tasting Notes: (2005) A beautiful Pinot Noir, deep ruby/purple with notes of blueberry, raspberry, and sweet cherry, the fruit dominates in a relatively complex style. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with good fresh acidity, a cool-climate mouthfeel, but beautiful precision, elegance, and purity. Drink it over the next 3-4 years.(92 points)
—Robert Parker, Wine Advocate

(2005) Richly flavored, with pure plum, blackberry and wild berry flavors that are plush and concentrated, firming up on the finish, where the tannins add strength and structure. A pretty blueberry note appears at the end. Drink now through 2011. 275 cases made. (91 points)
