Score 87/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2005

(aged in 40% new oak) Good dark ruby-tinged red. Black raspberry, cola, smoke, spices and loam on the nose, along with a whiff of orange peel. Fat, lush, oaky and full; large-scaled and a bit warm though not hugely sweet. Finishes with substantial ripe tannins.

The well-made 2003 Pinot Noir Russian River is primarily estate fruit (estate vineyards now comprise 34 acres). It is a medium-bodied effort revealing notes of raspberries, cherries, dried herbs, earth, and spice. Enjoy this elegant 2003 during its first 5-6 years of life. Tel.
