2009 Belle Glos Pinot Noir Taylor Lane Vineyard, Sonoma Coast, CA, $35 (S) – Rating 95

Belle Glos Taylor Lane is a rich, voluptuous and sporty Pinot Noir. Concentrated berry flavors combined with supple tannins create a  beautiful layered wine for hearty food or to just enjoy on its own. Notes of dark cherry, blueberry, cola and spicebox with hints of smoky oak and leather create a jammy delicious Pinot Noir.

2005 Ramazzotti Regale Reserve, Alexander Valley, CA, $100 (S) – Rating 91

Ramazzotti Regale Reserve is a Bordeaux-style Cabernet / Merlot based blend that really delivers. A rather complex wine with rich Cabernet flavors and fully integrated tannins. There’s just enough Cabernet Franc (14.5%) to add a kick of spice and pepper, which we found intriguing.

2008 Sequana Pinot Noir Dutton Ranch, Green Valley of Russian River Valley, CA $40 (S) – Rating 95

A big-boy Pinot with rich fruit and well-structured tannins made by Pinot Noir specialist James MacPhail . A beautifully complex wine with flavors of dark cherry, plum, raspberries that finish with a touch of oaky caramel. Give this wine your full attention and you’ll be well rewarded.

2006 Cinnabar Cabernet Sauvignon, Santa Cruz Mountains, CA, $45 (S) – Rating 92

This Cab from Cinnabar Winery grabed my attention from the start. Note the wine was held back longer than most, which adds to the maturity. Very well structured. Rich with solid fruit and soft tannins. Lovely flavors of black cherries, rasberries and black tea with hints of leather, smoke and oak. 100 % Cabernet Sauvignon

2009 MacPhail Family Wines Pinot Noir, Gap’s Crown Vineyard, Sonoma Coast, CA, $45 (S) – Rating 4.5

How about I just start with “AWSOME!” This is a big rich chewy Pinot that grabs your attention with a complex richness. Great flavors of black cherry, dark fruits and spice in addition to hints of dark coffee and cola. As big as this wine is, it paired beautifully with grilled duck. MacPhail Family Wines
