What to Expect

Pinot Noir: Responsible for some of the greatest wines on earth - the exhausted red wines of France's Burgundy region. Pinot Noir is a notoriously fickle grape that expresses its origins like no other. It's a vine that needs to struggle to produce great wines but when it does the depth of flavors that range from cherry to cola can be explosive and the wines' bright acidity and gentle tannins make them approachable and widely appealing,

WS 91 (2/2004): Odd wine, with game, tar, vanilla, butterscotch, and whiskey barrel stuff: a bit strange. But it's fairly rich and ripe, with a silky texture, and good length. The concentration comes through on the finish; one for the cellar. Best from 2005 through 2012. 1,400 cases made.

BH 92 (6/2002): Obvious oak notes frame knockout aromas of wonderfully intense black cherry fruit loaded with cassis and a touch of new oak introduce medium-bodied, sweet, harmonious and long flavors all underpinned by racy minerality. The tannins are firm and the density of extract impressive and the length incredible. This should be very long-lived indeed. Drink from 2010.

WA 93-95 (8/2001): The 1999 Clos de Tart is certainly outstanding and potentially exceptional. It displays a gorgeous nose of rich plums, sweet black cherries, candied blueberries, and loads of spices. Medium to full-bodied and opulent, this is a lush, deep, and fresh wine. Its velvety-textured flavor profile is crammed with blueberries, red cherries, and blackberries that seem to burst in the mouth, revealing their sweet, refreshing juices, in a way not dissimilar to the finest 1996s. It also displays complex nuances of spices, oak, and hints of orange zest. This marvelous wine should be read more...
