This vineyard is coming into its own, with stellar wines emerging from Felton Road and Pyramid Valley in 2007 as well as this offering. It’s nearly jammy, filled with cherry fruit, but there is enough sous bois character to make it recognizably Pinot Noir, and a delightfully lush, creamy texture framed by supple tannins and adequate acids. Drink now–2017.

A soft, mouthfilling rendition of Pinot Noir, with black cherry and plum notes that verge on being overripe, marked by hints of mocha, brown sugar and some slightly earthy notes. Drink it over the next few years.

This relatively new Bannockburn producer has turned out a supple, creamy 2004 that boasts plenty of red fruit aromas and flavors, ranging from raspberry to cherry and strawberry. Crisp and juicy on the finish.
