If anyone needed convincing of Akiko's talent and vision, this wine will will do it. Lovely, balanced, showing a complexity and brightness that most of the wines from this year have left behind. Fine medium weight richness and medium finish, aging nicely and miles from where it started. Can't wait to try some 09s or 10s.

Remarkable Pinot that reflected Akiko's unique pallette; blend of Sonoma Coast and Russian River and you can appreciate the blend in this wine; tasted more like a 2011 or 2012 due to the 3L bottle

Ripe, sweet nose of red fruit, blue fruit and touch of vanilla. Same on the palate and I got the sense this was starting to unravel. So it's delicious today but don't think it will last for much longer.

Dark cherry and berries on the nose. Smooth with a complex assortment of earthy notes. Fruit is subdued. Long finish.

Velvety red cherry and strawberries on the nose and palate with earth & spicy notes culminating in a long tasty finish.
