"Approximately 50% stems were utilized in the 2004 Pinot Noir Terraces. It exhibits more plum, forest floor, and earthy, meaty characteristics than its siblings, but shares their sexy, seductive, up-front aromas of sweet black cherries, raspberries, and blue fruit. Full-bodied and plush with abundant glycerin, it reminds me of a hedonistic California version of a grand cru Clos de la Roche." Wine Advocate #166, Aug 2006 |
