2008 Pinot Noir, Russian River Selection

93 Points – Linda Murphy, columnist, author and critic, WineReviewsOnline.com, March 2011

93 Points – “Tightly wound now, this ruby-colored, five vineyard blend opens with aeration to fragrant aromas of strawberry, cherry cola, black tea and forest floor.  Its slight earthiness and graphite notes lend interest to a wine that is perfectly balanced; generous in flavor yet not heavy; concentrated yet not dense or extracted, and measured in alcohol.  The tannins, pH and acidity meld harmoniously, and the wine finishes bright and refreshing.” Linda Murphy, winereviewonline.com, reviewed March 29, 2011
