Harmonique 2004 The Noble One Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)
- $50
The near-perfect marriage of acidity and fruit stars in this dramatically structured wine. The flavors, of red cherries and ripe red plums, are pure as can be, and that crispness boosts and brightens them to starburst quality. Lots of oak adds a delicious finish of toast, sweet vanilla and spice. Absolutely gorgeous Pinot Noir.

Harmonique 2002 The Noble One Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)
- $48
Harmonique has released two ’02 Pinots from Anderson Valley and they display how the terroir varies. This one, from a cooler site, is the darker, more full-bodied. It’s exceptionally rich in cherry jam flavors, yet delicate and silky.

Harmonique 2006 The Noble One Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)
- $38
Nearly five years of age, and giving its best. Slowly losing berry fruit, it’s turning dry and mushroomy. A fascinating, intricate Pinot Noir, Burgundian in framework, that should continue to interest over the next five years.

Harmonique 2002 Delicacé Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)
- $48
Of Harmonique’s two Pinots, this is the more “Burgundian.” It’s paler in color and ineffably silky, with a mélange of cherry, cola, beetroot and tobacco flavors, and a nice mushroomy earthiness. Could develop for a few more years.

Harmonique 2006 Oppenlander Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)
- $42
Despite ripe raspberry and cherry flavors, this Pinot is a bit inert. The fruit is turning toward dried currants and mushrooms, indicating its age. It’s a wine that will find some fans in the years to come, and also opponents, as it continues to dry and turn brittle. Gains the extra point for intellectual interest.

Harmonique 2006 Delicacé Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)
- $36
Rich and soft, this Pinot seems like it’s coming to the end of its useful life. It’s fully dry, with cherry, berry, cola and spice flavors that are starting to turn mushroomy. Drink now.

Harmonique 2006 Elegancé Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)
- $37
Lots of delicious, upfront fruit in this attractive wine. It features ripe raspberry and cherry flavors, accented with sweet, smoky oak, and finishes dry and spicy, with a good cut of acidity for balance. Drink now–2013.
