The wine pulls you in with attractive aromas of wild berries, earth, pepper, oak
and a nice touch of barnyard. Dark-fruited with a strong tug of oak that competes with the fruit. Softly textured
with a clean finish that leaves a little heat in its wake.

2006 Adobe Road Winery O’Neel Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
15.3% alc., 250 cases, $48
·
Gregarious nose bursting with rich black cherries, well-toasted oak and oak spice. The earth-dusted and oak-imbibed dark stone fruits are discreetly
concentrated with tannins that are soft and supple. The balance is admirable with
alcohol that is well integrated.

2004 Herrerias Herrerias Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
13.8% alc., $24.
·
This is not a terribly
complex wine, but is perfectly fine. Cherries are foremost in the nose and flavors. There is a little funk
(what I call dirty diaper but in a good way) among the aromas.

2004 Adobe Road Herrerias Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
14.3% alc., 246 cases, $35.
Winemaking here is traditional for California Pinot Noir. Aging was carried out
for 19 months in 50% new French oak.
·
This wine is one fine cherry bomb.
Scrumptious ripe cherries in the nose and on the palate with a hint of spice and
herbs. Light to medium in body and elegant in style, this Pinot finishes with a
lively kick of acidity and a lingering note of sweet oak. Hi-octane.
