2007 Prodigal Quinta Santa Rosa Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir
14.1% alc., 92 cases, $55.
·
The nose on this beauty is what entices me
about Pinot Noir sporting vivid red fruits, nicely spiced with supporting
oak. A delicate wine, but packed with flavor featuring a pleasing melange
of red Pinot fruits, wrapped in enough suede tannins to bring the fruit into
focus. The wine possesses both an admirable finesse and remarkable
persistence on the aromatic finish and picks up interest and intensity with time in
the glass. Worth the fifty year wait.

2005 Prodigal Quinta Santa Rosa Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir
14.5% alc.. Inaugural vintage from
this estate vineyard. The wine was crafted with winemaker Norm Yost (Flying Goat).
·
Darkly colored. Hi-tone
fruity nose featuring black cherries and dark red berry jam. Very ripe fruit flavors with a slight roasted quality.
Tasty and flashy berry and currant flavors with the slightest hint of oak. Smoothly textured with balancing
acidity and a dry finish. The wine has aged nicely. This wine is crafted in a bigger, riper, more fruit-forward
style than the 2007 vintage Pinot Noirs that were produced by Stephen Russell. Good.
