2006 Costiera Pinot Noir
Sonoma Coast

Costiera meaning â€œcoastal,â€ represents our quest to find the finest vineyard lots in the Sonoma Coast. This Pinot Noir is blended from two such vineyards --- the famed â€œPeter ...moreâ€™s Vineyardâ€ and the sought after â€œWiddoes Vineyardâ€ ---- both near the town of Sebastopol in the cool Russian River Valley. While these vineyards are planted to low vigor rootstalks, meticulous farming ensures vine balance and keeps yields below 2 tons per acre.

2004 Grail Pinot Noir
Carneros

Ruby in color, the wine shows red cherry and sweet French oak up front, with black tea and vanilla in the background. In the mouth, the impression is of ripe but decidedly red frui ...moret, cherry, not berry. Good acidity keeps the palate lively, clean and fresh, with a nice balance between fruit and oak. The wine has a classic feel, with a purity of fruit that is Carneros at itâ€™s best. Extended time in barrel has integrated the wine, which is drinking nicely now, and will continue to evolve for five or more years to come. Winemaker: Ken Foster
