Medium-bodied, Light in texture with ripe red berry flavors.

Fresh acidity lends a bright, crunchy feel to the mix of red and black cherry fruit and hints of sweet earth on the finish. Drink now.

Aboslutely dry and silky, with complex flavors of cherries, mandarin orange, cola, pomegranates, licorice and cinnamon spice, made even richer by smoky oak.

Light and supple, this Pinot is meant for drinking now. It's polished and elegant, with a silky texture framing pleasant cherry cherry, cola, spice and smoky oak flavors.
Wine Enthusiast - 87pts.

It's true to variety and vintage with bold aromatics and a palate to please. This wine has moderately-deep color and a tannin profile to match. The dark spices on the nose and palate complement the flavors: blackberry, raspberry, black cherry and earth.

The tannic, firmly structured, sweet black cherry herb, smoky 2000 Pinot Noir Brown Ranch is a broad, deep ruby/purple-colored offering. Drink 2004-2010.

Wine Advocate - 88pts.

Supple and disarmingly enticing for its gorgeuos raspberry, black cherry and Santa Rosa plum aromas and flavors, beautifully arrayed on a fine carpet of sweet tannins. Lingers expressively on the harmonious finish. Best from 2009 through 2016.

This vintage, with classic Pinot Noir attributes, continues with silky notes of vanilla-infused wild berries that fill the mouth with soft, velvety tannins counterbalanced with perfect acidity. Full flavors of cherry and plum follow through to the pleasing finish of this food-friendly wine that is able to stand up to a number of rich foods.

Tangy, with black pepper, plum and pomegranate flavors underscored by fresh herb nuances. Cedar and lively tannins linger on the finish. Drink now through 2010.

Even better is the 2006 Pinot Noir (which includes 13% Zinfandel from Edna Valley). It is hard to find a Pinot Noir of this quality for under $30 a bottle. Briery, berry fruit and forest floor-like characteristics are offered in a medium-bodied, silky style to enjoy over the next 1-2 years.
