Score 90/100 · Drink 2007-2017, Robert Parker, Dec 2007

A beauty, the dark ruby-colored, beefy 2005 Pinot Noir has notes of animal blood and roasted meats and shows good sweetness and tannin, medium to full body, and excellent acidity and length. This is a solidly built, borderline-rustic Pinot Noir with loads of character and depth. It should drink nicely for up to a decade. Tel. (707) 847-3600

Score 92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2007

(just 70 cases produced, compared to 400 in 2004) Deep red, less lucid than the Bella Vigna. Highly nuanced nose combines raspberry, smoked meat, cola and brown spices. Sweet, lush and densely packed, with a distinctly smooth texture to its flavors of redcurrant, raspberry and brown spices. Very rich, slightly chunky pinot with the guts to age.
