Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2011

The 2008 Pinot Noir Pisoni Vineyard (aged in 50% new French oak) exhibits gorgeous scents of raspberries, flowers, forest floor and a hint of graphite. This opulent, rich, medium to full-bodied Pinot is super-pure, beautifully textured and luscious. Enjoy it over the next 4-5 years.

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, June 2010

Good full red with a hint of amber. Ripe cherry, raspberry and a hint of cotton candy on the nose and palate, complicated by flowers and coffee bean. Dense, supple and sweet, with subtle earth tones adding complexity. Very ripe, fleshy, expressive pinot, finishing with sweet tannins and juicy persistence. The quality and intensity of the pinot fruit was quite variable in 2008 owing to the frost and the number of second shoots, noted Capiaux, but the Garys' and Pisoni vineyards were much less affected.

About Winery

Sean Capiaux is probably best known for the stunning wines he makes at O-Shaughnessy on Howell Mountain. The Pinots he makes for his own label are equally worthy of attention. Capiaux crafts bold, juicy Pinots long on personality.
