Robert Stemmler 2007 Nugent Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
  1. $40
Very fine and complex. This deeply flavored Pinot Noir is powerful, but it’s also elegantly silky, which is the magic combination. Shows perfectly ripe cherry and raspberry fruit, with gorgeous overtones of oak and spices. Beautiful now, and will age well through 2014 or so.  — S.H.  (8/1/2010)

Robert Stemmler 2001 Nugent Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
  1. $32
Provides that extra edge of meaty complexity you find in the better Pinots of this appellation. That’s on top of the blackberry, coffee, rhubarb, herb and cola flavors. Very dry, and marked by rich, sweet tannins and crisp acids, this wine will hold for several years.  — S.H.  (6/1/2004)

Robert Stemmler 2006 Nugent Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
  1. $42
Very ripe and lush, this Pinot shows deep flavors of cherries, raspberries, licorice, vanilla fudge, mint, cinnamon, nutmeg and sandalwood. It’s at its silky, exotic best now and for a few more years.  — S.H.  (8/1/2009)

Robert Stemmler 2002 Nugent Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
  1. $32
Tasted beside Stemmler’s estate Pinot, this one’s richer and more concentrated, but very similar, even though it’s from a different appellation, suggesting a consistent winemaker approach. It’s medium-bodied and silky, with ripe rhubarb, cola and cherry-pie flavors finished with oak and vanilla. Drink this elegant and complex wine now.  — S.H.  (12/15/2005)

Robert Stemmler 2005 Nugent Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $40
Stemmler’s record is spotty with this bottling. This ’05 is a little too ripe, soft and heavy, but the chocolate-inspired red currant, cola and licorice flavors are lip-smackingly good.  — S.H.  (8/1/2008)

Robert Stemmler 2004 Nugent Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
  1. $40
Soft and simple, this is almost a dessert wine—it’s that sweet in raspberry-tart filling and cherry jam flavors. Has just enough acidity but the sugary finish is off-putting.  — S.H.  (9/1/2007)
