2008 J. Keverson Haas Family Vineyard Sonoma Mountain Pinot Noir
14.9% alc., $32.
·
Moderate reddish-purple color in the glass. Noticeable legs in
the glass due to the high alcohol. A bit shy, put pleasing scents of sweet
raspberries, black cherries, biscuit, vanilla and oak. A rich, generous wine with
berry, cherry and vanilla cola flavors that explode in the mouth and dance on the
finish with tenacity. The tannins are reigned in and the alcohol is well-integrated.
This is a Pinot for those who like the rush of busty California fruit. This type of
wine shows well in a lineup with other wines at wine competitions. Good.

2006 J. Keverson Labyrinth Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., $30. Sourced from the
Labyrinth Vineyard farmed by the Masons at EMTU Wines (see feature in this issue).
·
There is a tasty core of
black cherry, raspberry and cassis here but the wine is dominated by oak. Too bad, because the wine has a
charming elegance. A Gold Medal winner at the 2008 Sonoma Harvest Fair Wine Competition indicating the
wine has fans.

2006 J. Keverson Labyrinth Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., 210 cases, $38.
·
The wine leads off with sweet oak, blackberry
jam, a leafiness and a hint of alcohol. Blackberries, dark
cherries, tar, blood orange and vanilla carry the medium-weighted and noticeably oaked
flavors. The textural impression is soft and clean and the finish has
zingy acidity. I thought it was just decent, but my wife like it a lot.
