Atticus 2005 Pinot Noir

  1. $24
This debut effort from a small, family-owned winery offers light, pretty scents of Dr. Pepper, red berries, rose petals and vanilla. It’s a delicate wine, sculpted to capture the nuances of Pinot, without attempting to bulk it up unnecessarily. The flavors play out sweetly across the palate, finishing with milk chocolate and spice.  — P.G.  (4/1/2008)

Atticus 2006 Pinot Noir

  1. $24
The 2006 is a richer vintage than this winery’s 2005, showing more heat, more density and more of the milk chocolate in the finish. What it gains in weight it loses in elegance; it’s a stand-off really. Winemaker Scott Shull does his usual careful job with the fruit, getting the most from the particulars of the vintage.  — P.G.  (4/1/2008)
