Reviewed September 2010This is a very rich, ripe, flamboyant Pinot, made in the lush California style. It’s flashy in complex tiers of raspberries, cherries, red currants, licorice, cocoa and cinnamon spice, yet is silky and dry. The fruit comes from Sonoma Coast, Green Valley and the Middle Reach. An impressive followup to the inaugural ’07, and a bottling to watch.

Wine Spectator
Elegant and medium-bodied, with ripe, complex plum and black cherry fruit that's intense and spicy, pure and focused, ending with a dash of rhubarb and herbal scents as well as fine-grained, earthy tannins. Drink now through 2016. (Web-2010)
Notes
Winery's notes: "The wine is deftly shaped with a subtle combination of new and once-used French oak barrels. Les Pommiers captures aromatics of wild raspberry, black cherry, plum and floral notes that yield to mineral, spice and toasty oak. It has a juicy, coating entry, followed by more layers of raspberry and cherry fruit, and ripe, integrated tannins."
