Score 88/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2006

Medium red. Cherry, raspberry and tarry oak aromas lifted by a floral note. Sweet fruit nicely framed by juicy acids. Not especially complex but offers good intensity and freshness. Finishes with dusty tannins.

The 2004 Pinot Noir Russian River is a more clipped, lighter version of the 2003 offering hints of black cherries, raspberries, plums, and forest floor. It should drink well for 3-4 years. (Release date 3/06) Tel. (707) 824-9879; Fax (707) 824-5843
