"Delivers a pure, ripe beam of black cherry, raspberry and plum flavors, both layered and focused. Supple in texture, ending with a long, persistent finish."

"Our 2010 Pinot Noir is a rich, ruby-red wine that vibrantly showcases its cool-climate Russian River Valley pedigree. Aromas of classic bright cherry fill the glass. The wine delivers earthy flavors of vanilla, black clove, toasted nutmeg, and smoky barbecue. Our Russian River Valley Pinot Noir pairs with many rustic foods, such as grilled Portobello mushrooms, smoked country ham, or savory duck confit braised in this wine."

"Picking up a glass of this wine, its lovely platinum hue portends the opulent character to be revealed. The deeply mouthwatering aroma is creamy with scents of nutmeg, vanilla and luscious crème brûlée. The palate opens with inviting flavors of papaya and ripe persimmon, balanced by a fresh accent of minerality on the extended, full finish."

"The cool 2011 vintage has yielded a lovely, aromatically driven expression of Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir marked by layered floral notes of rose, carnation and violet, as well as delicate hints of red fruit and spice. On the palate, the flavors are vivid and pure, with red cherry and raspberry fruit supported by soft, yet enlivening acidity. The tannins are supple and subtle, adding to this wine’s weight and velvety texture, with oak-inspired notes of cinnamon, clove and maple syrup contributing nuance and complexity. All of these elements lead to a long creamy finish, with melt-in-your mouth tannins. This is an exceptional food wine that will provide lots of pleasure in its youth."

"The fragrant aroma of this Pinot unfolds with luscious, mouthwatering black raspberries, laced with dark chocolate – a consistent signature for this wine. Crushed black fruit, syrupy blue plums, black tea, cinnamon and anise expand its broad profile. Bountiful fruit overflows onto the palate leaving in its wake a memory of mellow, yet firm tannins on the long, lavish finish. As the vineyard approaches its 10th birthday, this vintage shows a wonderful, mature balance throughout."

"This 2010 Georganne is dark in color – a result of a tiny crop of less than one ton per acre. The aroma opens with dark chocolate, mocha and savory oak layered over a base of black cherry fruit and cassis. A heady perfume of blue violets, blackberry blossoms and tiny fraise du bois adds intrigue. It is succulent on the palate with round, sweet tannins and a bit of tarry fruit, reflecting its clone 37 heritage. Incredibly dense and concentrated, this bold wine will unfold over many years to come, revealing even more layers of complexity."
