Tangerine oil, lemon blossom, crushed rocks, white currants, and a hint of honeysuckle are present in this full-bodied, rich, pure, and layered wine.

Fruity, earthy, and wholesome.

Rated 94 Points by Wine Enthusiast.

"Nothing is out of place here, the color is red, not black, the aromas are wild and savory, and the flavors are intense without being overbearing. I think it is one of the finest Pinot Noir's in the store regardless of price." -Gary Westby

French oak gently adds structure and interest to layers of nutmeg, plum, sassafras and cola notes and eventually leads to a pleasantly long finish.

94 Points Robert Parker.

"Caramelized orange, candied citrus, and pineapple aromas, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and very good acidity as well as concentration suggest this 2008 will age easily for 7-8 years.” -Robert Parker
 

"As much as we love the Chardonnays that we have made up to this point, the 2008 is hands down the best we have ever produced." -Duane Hoff, Fantesca Winery
