2007 Black Ridge Vineyards Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir
14.7%
alc., 198 cases, $39.
·
Very complex aromas of black cherries, kid glove, pine
forest, green garden, grassland and oak char. Delicious and crunchy dark
berry fruit set off by bright acidity. Deeply flavored but not weighty, with deft
use of oak, and a finish that goes on and on. A Pinot lover’s cup of tea.

2006 Black Ridge Vineyards Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir
14.7% alc., 183 cases, $39.
·
Moderately
deep ruby color. The aromatics are dominated by alcohol, but there are some nice black cherry and
medicine cabinet notes. The spiced cherry core is enticing and the bright acidity creates a tangy finish.
Definitely needs food. A respectable inaugural release for this new winery, but plenty of work lies ahead
to bring this up to the standards of the California Big Dogs.
