2008 Sonoma Mountain "Red Dog Vineyard" Pinot Noir Magnum (1.5 liter)
The nose opens to an exotic flush of roses, lilacs, holiday spices, dried mushrooms, and dried cherries. �The fruit expands in the glass to include fresh black cherry, cherry preserve, ripe plums, dried cranberries, and hints of geranium and pipe tobaccos. �The palate is rich and concentrated, with the fruit flavors tending toward plum, black cherry, and pomegranate. �Boysenberry and strawberry are hinted at as the acidity lifts the mid-palate. �The palate fills with an earthen and tannic strength and the finish is long and dominated by fine, dry tannins and dried fruits. �
$110.00

2008 Sta Rita Hills "Fiddlestix Vineyard" Pinot Noir Magnum (1.5 liter)
This wine exemplifies the concentration of flavors that we found to be so typical of the 2008 vintage. �Intense, fresh dark fruits lead the palate, settling on the mid-palate with focused, ripe flavors of strawberry, cassis, and currants. �The nose is enticing and layered, with fresh fruits laying over top of holiday spices, tobacco, and stony earth. � Good acidity provides brightness and balance, while structure, always a strong suit for this wine, is emphasized by mouth-filling tannins.
