2010 Longboard Vineyards Flying Rooster Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
14.3% alc., $42. From a vineyard located in the Petaluma Gap region of
the Sonoma Coast. 100% de-stemmed, 3-day cold soak, aged in French oak.
·
Medium reddish-purple color in the glass. Lovely aromas of fresh cherry pie
glaze, red berries and forest floor, becoming more intense and pleasing over
time in the glass. Middleweight flavors of perfectly ripe cherries and raspberries
with complimentary notes of spice and tea, finishing long with a good cut of
acidity. Very supple tannins make for easy drinking. Read to go now. Very
good.

2007 Felta Creek Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
14.2% alc., 150 cases, $24. Sourced from Flying
Rooster Ranch and Marg’s Vineyard.
·
A lightly weighted wine that is true to the varietal with dark red
fruits supported by a sidecar of oak and good acidity. The silky texture makes for easy drinking.
Excellent value in a Pinot Noir for the everyday man. Gold Medal at the 2009 San Francisco
Chronicle Wine Competition in its class.

2006 Felta Creek Vineyards Flying Rooster Ranch Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
14.2% alc., 95 cases,
$24. Vinified at Laetitia Winery in Arroyo Grande for De La Montanya.
·
Very enticing aromas of crushed
black cherries, herbs, and oak char. On the palate, the attack of dark berry and dark stone fruits is lipsmacking
and the soft texture is alluring. The tannins are noticeable but reigned-in.

2006 De La Montanya Flying Rooster Ranch Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
14.3% alc., 100 cases, $36.
·
Dazzling aromas of red cherry, concord
grape and cocoa. On the palate, there is a lovely potpourri of cherries,
strawberries, black raspberries and a subtle sidecar of oak. The finish is
clean and dry. Medium-bodied and fruit-forward, I like this wine for its
finesse and pinotypicity.

2005 Flying Rooster Sonoma Coast Red Wine
Wine 14.7% alc., $20. 80% Pinot Noir, 10% Syrah, and
10% Cabernet Franc.
·
This is an every-day drinker, not intended for serious pinotphiles. It is pleasant
enough, but finishes more like a Syrah than a Pinot.

2005 De La Montanya Flying Rooster Ranch Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
14.0% alc., 47 cases, $36.
·
This could turn out to be the star of the lineup. It is well balanced, silky, and finishes with plush Pinot fruits
and spice. There is some earthiness and tea notes here as well. Plenty of structure, but light on its feet. A
wine for Pinot lovers.
