Stangeland 2000 Winemakers Estate Reserve Pinot Noir

Price $59

The panel was unanimous in its ranking of this deep, briary Pinot, one that simply smells great. There’s plenty of cherry, cinnamon, spice and smoke on the bouquet. The flavors are pure and juicy, emphasizing raspberry and cherry below a thin veneer of oak. Cedar, smoke and chocolate mix on the smooth, layered finish. — W.E. (10/1/2002)

Stangeland 1999 Estate Reserve Pinot Noir

Price $32

There’s good depth to this ripe, structured wine’s solid, cherry fruit core. Woodsy notes, anise and chocolate accents add to its angular appeal. Finishes long, displaying firm, even tannins, wood and cocoa notes. Tasty now, but best 2004–2008. — W.E. (10/1/2002)

Price $40

Saddle leather, soy, violet and cinnamon accents adorn very dark cherry fruit in this handsome red. The smoky oak is strong, and the palate has a peppery, rustic edge, but still the wine has solid appeal. Finishes with juicy fruit, firm tannins and chocolate accents. Drink 2003–2008. — W.E.

Unrelated aromas hit you right off the bat: dill, mint, cinnamon, cedar, vanilla. Together, it’s all a bit strange. In the mouth, cherry fruit comes across a little green, with pronounced herbal notes. The finish is dry, with starching tannins. — W.E. (10/1/2002)

Stangeland 1999 Martha's Vineyard II Pinot Noir

Price $30

This wine’s tart cranberry-cherry-beet fruit displayed some unusual salty, saddley aromatics. It’s dense and earthy, with a sweet-and-sour quality. Ends with firm tannins, pepper and lemon notes. — W.E. (10/1/2002)
