The 2004 Pinot Noir West Block (400 cases) is one of the most profound Pinot Noirs I have ever tasted... from anywhere. Huge floral black raspberry forest floor cherry liqueur black currants and Asian spice aromas soar from the glass of this remarkably intense offering. With a layered multi-textured full-bodied palate profound length and dazzling purity as well as equilibrium it is a tour de force in Pinot Noir as well as an exquisite example of just how far California winemakers have progressed in taming this fickle varietal.

Effusively fruity rich and layered with intense concentrated black cherry wild berry and blackberry fruit that's firm and well-structured finishing with a strong burst of berry flavors. Picks up a nice edge of toasty oak. Drink now through 2012. 400 cases made.
