Leslie Hennessy Pinot Noir
This is the first Pinot Noir release of wine veteran and author Leslie Hennessy. "I had been plodding through Northern California wine country for months looking for my style of Pinot Noir when I ran across these two remarkable vineyards. The first vineyard was too tannic but had a great banana, blackberry, bing cherry bouquet with a graham cracker finish. The second vineyard had just the perfect 'persistence' that when these two are blended together it gives this wine a great rich middle with the fruit combination."

Melville Pinot Noir
A definitive purple core shows good extraction. Aromas of cherry blossom and fresh red raspberry are accompanied by loamy soil. Tempered by excellent acidity, the palate displays ripe cherry and black raspberry on this medium bodied and exquisitely balanced wine. The wine's elegance is driven by precise tannins which carry the fruit smoothly into a long, delightful finish. This delicious cool-climate wine should show well for at least a decade!

Roessler Bluejay Pinot Noir
A bold, fruit-filled Pinot Noir for those who like their wine to have a little umph, but still like things balanced, too. Soaring aromas of dark fruit, garrigue and truffles are punctuated by sweet oak spice, while the wine's palate is richly textured, with layers of chocolate, spice and smoke imbuing the fruit with seductive intrigue.

Roessler Griffin Pinot Noir
Impeccably balanced with the exception of a little heat. Harmony of acid, fruit, earth, tannin and oak otherwise. Woodsy-earth aromas with oak and plummy fruit as well that aren't at all shy. Full bodied, round. Finish of dark chocolate and earth. More to the fruity side, yet nicely structured.
$55.00 #664003

Bright ruby-red color and a complex, evolving nose of wild strawberries, black plums, fresh rose petals and wild mushrooms with hints of cinnamon and spearmint.
