Dear Wine Lover,

 

We still have a limited quantity of four of the top 12 rated wines from the Pinot Report.

 

#3 2004 Loring Keefer Ranch Green Valley Pinot Noir $45.89

Pinot Report 96 points: Medium-deep ruby color; deep, lush, black cherry aromas with spice and forest floor notes; rich, deep, complex and juicy red cherry flavors, spicy, bright nice touch of forest floor, excellent structure and balance; long finish. WOW! This is classic Keefer Ranch. An absolute delight to drink. This is Brian Loring’s first vintage from Keefer Ranch. His deft touch in the winery has taken this amazing vineyard in Green Valley to a new height.

 

#8 2003 Halleck Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir $56.99

Pinot Report 95 points: Deep ruby purple color; deep and complex aromas of black  cherry, forest floor, cinnamon; very deep, rich and complex in  the mouth with deep black cherry, spice, forest floor and the right touch of sweet oak; great structure, balance, long finish. This Pinot has incredible depth and complexity of flavors and yet has a razor sharp focused black cherry fruit. From Ross Halleck’s one-acre estate vineyard; Greg La Follette is the winemaker. Ross also makes a Russian River Valley blend, the Three Sons Cuvee $39.99 that’s also worthy of your attention. Only 99 cases were produced.

 

#10 2003 Roar Gary’s Vineyard Santa Lucia Highland Pinot Noir $59.89

Pinot Report 95 points: Medium-deep ruby color; subtle, pretty aromas of black cherry, plum and spice; rich, ripe, black cherry and plum flavors with spicy, sweet oak notes and light tannins; great structure and balance; long finish. Rich and beautiful, this Pinot is another in a string of great wines from Gary and Rosella Franscioni, third generation growers in the Santa Lucia Highlands. Siduri’s Adam Lee is the winemaker for Roar. 399 cases were produced of this incredible Pinot.

 

#11 2003 Patz & Hall Hyde Vineyard Carneros Pinot Noir $49.89

Pinot Report 95 points: Medium-deep ruby purple color; deep, intense, berry and spice aromas; big, full and rich with intense berry and red cherry flavors, a nice earthy thread and sweet oak, silky mouthfeel, great balance and structure, long finish. This Pinot is probably the most consistent example of how good Carneros Pinot can be and how much the style has changed over the years. I think that this is best Pinot Noir available from this benchmark vineyard. Great vineyard, great wine.
