Jay Miller - Wine Advocate
The 2006 Pinot Noir Winery Hill Vineyard is sourced
from Dijon clones planted in 2000 and 2001. It was fermented with
3.5% stems for additional spiciness. Dark ruby-colored, it offers
up a spicy, cigar box perfume along with expressive blue and black
fruits. On the palate it is quite dense and weighty with layers
of savory dark fruit flavors bordering on opulence. This rich wine
has a finish lasting for nearly a minute. Drink it from '12 to '20.

Lithe, elegant and refined, with a nice transparency
to the currant and blueberry flavors and spicy, toasty overtones,
all sailing easily over polished tannins on the focused finish.
Best from '10 through '16. |
