August West 2003 Rosella's Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)
- Cellar Selection
- $42
What a fabulous wine. So rich and forward in black cherry, cocoa, leather and spice flavors, yet subtle and complex. Despite a powerful start it reveals itself slowly, spreading layers of fruit, spice and oak across the palate. The texture is wonderfully silky, backed up with lively acids. Wonderful now, but with the stuffing to develop additional complexities…

August West 2007 Rosella's Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)
- $50
Tastes sugared, like sweetened cherry and black raspberry cola, spiced with cinnamon. In other words, not really dry. Could resolve this seeming imbalance with a year or two in bottle.

August West 2007 Graham Family Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $50
There’s a smoky aroma that’s almost cigarette ashy, and a distractingly sweet sugary finish to the cherry and cola flavors of this Pinot Noir. Could be going through a dumb phase. Try after 2009.
