description: I love this Pinot for its tense balance of acidity and fruit, which make for great complexity. The vineyard is south-facing, 1,000 feet above Boonville, and the sunshine helped enormously in this cool vintage, ripening the grapes just enough to give an edge of bitter cherry and red raspberry to the earthy cola, leather and spice flavors. Utterly dry, this is a real connoisseur's wine, one that takes some understanding to appreciate.
