2006 Amalie Robert, Dijon Clones
Oregon / Willamette Valley
The 2006 Dijon Clones Pinot Noir is true to the soil and true to the vintage. Aromas of crushed wild raspberries, rose petals and nutmeg introduce a palate rich with Montmorency cherries and Oregon strawberries. The core of sweet fruit and underbrush is punctuated with dried lavender and cocoa.
90 POINTS, WINE ENTHUSIAST

2009 Sanglier
California / Russian River Valley
On the nose, notes of dried thyme, rhubarb, root beer, smoky bacon, Aromas of roasted coffee, dried flowers, forest floor and raspberry jam rise from the glass as the wine opens up. On the palate there are generous flavors of strawberry and bing cherry followed by hints of black tea and warm spice.  The mid-palate and finish are long and lingering framed nicely by balanced tannins and acidity. This wine will drink wonderfully over the next few years and really comes alive when decanted and given some time to breathe.

2007 Kenneth Volk, Sierra Madre
California / Santa Maria Valley
Lovely scents of red fruits, roses and spice box which carry over in the flavor profile. Loaded with charm, the fruit is vivid and focused. The finish has remarkable persistence.
