The 2008 Pinot Noir Mills Vineyard takes shape beautifully in the glass with layers of bright red fruits flowers spices and tobacco. It is an impeccable polished wine from start to finish. This is one of the wines that shows more stem character than some of the others. A textured multi-dimensional finish of considerable elegance sets the Mills Vineyard apart. Here too there is a slightly fleeting quality but there seems to be enough fruit for the wine to drink well for another handful of years perhaps longer. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020. -AG
