2007 Dain Wines American Beauty Amber Ridge Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
13.4% alc.,
$48.
·
Very shy aromas of black cherry and oak. Black cherry carries over on the palate with notes of cassis,
framed by soft tannins and racy acidity. A bit austere now due to the acidity. Improves in the glass over time
indicating this wine is quite immature. Be patient with this one.

2006 Dain American Beauty Amber Ridge Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.1% alc., $48. Dijon clones 115, 667. Aged in 50% new French oak.
·
Attractive aromatics featuring Bing cherry
and wood spice. Red fruits and cola compose the taste track. Very soft and elegant with ample acidity.
The aftertaste lingers with a woodsy bent. The fruits are a little shy at this point and more bottle age
should change this.

2006 Dain Wines Savage Juliet Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.3% alc., $48.
Sourced from the Hein Family Vineyard.
·
Moderately light in color. The nose is
thick with herbs, leaf, underbrush, oak smoke and camphor. Light in weight with
good acidity, the flavor profile leans to cherries and cranberries with a slight
chemical note. Smooth in the mouth. No special message but a decent drink.
