Soft, cherry fruit and a round finish.

Moderately rich with pineapple flavors and pleasantly long finish.

A light, pleasant red with an appealing scent and fruity taste.

Nicely made and well-structured. The wine is spectatular, with an earthy/cherry sort of aroma, deep and powerful fruit, and a racy, spiced aftertaste. The Reserve bottling is a steal.

A ripe, rich, velvety blend of Central and North Coast Pinot Noir. Worth a hunt.

Eucalyptus, sweet coffee, chocolate, balanced and very concentrated.

Real Central Coast style in a wine jammed with fruit, from tropical to a linger all-spice, apple pie sort of finish, yet somehow it all works in an in-your-face kind of way.

Loaded with cassis and raspberries on the nose; big texture in the mouth, with firm tannins and fruit from start to long finish.

Cedar and Cabernet Franc on the nose; cherry and raspberry fruit in the mouth with soft body and accessible tannins; smoky-earthy finish.

Complex nose packed with oak, vanilla, apple, pear and honey; full-flavored on the palate.

This is a rich, toasty, complex wine with tiers of pear, spice, toast and smoky oak flavors, followed by a long finish. A real mouthful.

Lemon blossoms, hazelnut, pear and spicy oak define the nose, but they don't prepare you for the intense, extractive flavors focusing on citrus and tropical fruit that are delicious and deep. Great value.

Immense fruitiness.

A delight.

Wonderful. Beguiling. Just the wine to pour for equally memorable occasions.

A rather nice job of combining medium-depth fruitiness of cherries and raspberry with the leafy, herbal tendencies of Pinot, this wine is medium-full in body and moderately tannic without showing intrusive astrigency. It will go nicely with herb-seasoned lamb dishes ranging from chops to stews over the next three to five years.

Smooth and slightly velvety.

Attractive elements of melon, citrus and oak in the nose. Clean, balanced and altogether drinkable.

A lush, richly fruity, boldly flavored wine that offers abundant honeyed, pineapple fruit allied to smoky, toasty new oak. (Also reviewed 6/26/93).

Smooth, velvety and elegant, with a nice range of plum, currant, toast, cola and spice aromas and flavors. Very pretty to drink now through 1996 or 1997.

Recommended.

Its ripe, dried cherry and dark chocolate character combines well with its lavish oak.

Tasty and rich.

Oak tones in the nose, leading to plummy-black pepper flavor and finish. Solidly built with lots of body and strong tannins.

Ripe cherry and herbal tones are nicely fit with a sweet oak background. Can be served any time over the next five years or so with broiled or marinated meats.
