A tale of four 2004 Pinots: Clone 114     Clone 667     Clone 777     The Blend   the blend is composed of the other three wines.



"DATE: 08-25-07 Appearance: Ruby with a bit of brick at the edge.
Nose: Strawberry, light oak, a mineral quality, light earthy notes.
Palate: Dry with good acidity, midweight plus. Big pillowy soft palate follows the nose, with beet and earthy accents midpalate, good ripe tannins on a long clean dry and soft finish. Softest of the four on the palate, easiest-drinking.
Conclusions: All four wines are very high quality, and interesting in their own right. All are foodworthy, and all should reach eight years in a cellar in good condition.

Easy-drinking compared to the others, softer, perhaps the "best" in youth. But also the least ageworthy, and ultimately the least interesting by itself." lfw
