Description

Three bottles, three great years!  First, a 2003 Martinelli 7 Mules Vineyard Pinot Noir.  This vineyard's early 2000 Pinots consistently received 90-94 points from Robert Parker and Wine Spectator.  This Pinot Noir is minimally handled, neither heat nor cold stabilized and is unfined and unfiltered.  Then, try the 2004 Hope & Grace, from the Sleepy Hollow Vineyard in Santa Lucia Highlands.  2004 was a wonderfully sunny year and as a result, this bottle has beautifully mature flavors that good sunlight brings.  To complete the Pinot tasting, you have a 2005 DeLoach from the Russian River Valley.  This vintage offers aromas of cherry and blackberry complimented by hints of savory spice.  This Pinot is rich in color and flavor.  Enjoy!
