| Tasted by Anonymous on 1/24/2010 & rated 94 points: Had this with Kevin Gillespie's Tasting menu last night at Woodfire grill in Atlanta....one of the two or 3 best pinots we have had this year and only our second of the 2007 vintage. (320 views) | |
| Tasted by matthen on 1/17/2010 & rated 95 points: The concentration of fruit and the balance are superb here. It is like a desert in a bottle. Cherry pie, spice, plum and berries. Absolutely fantastic. (335 views) | |
| Tasted by Deadhead on 12/27/2009 & rated 95 points: WOW! Fantastic pinot! This was our first Aubert pinot - I'm sure it has set our expectations far too high for future vintages. It was beautifully integrated. Wonderful fruits. Lengthy finish. No heat. My wife couldn't offer any tasting notes - she just kept saying "this is !$&k@n# delicious!". (545 views) | |

| Tasted by pkwoods on 12/22/2009 & rated 95 points: We loved this wine. Very complex on the nose. A lot of spice in addition to delicious fruits. Taste builds very quickly and then fades gradually over a minute or so. I found the alcohol very apparent when the wine was a little warmer than cellar temp. I can see how those who are very sensitive to heat in a pinot would be put off by this wine...but overall we were smitten by our first experience with an Aubert pinot. (500 views) | |

| Tasted by beau11 on 12/13/2009 & rated 97 points: Beautiful pinot with great complexity and minerality and perfectly integrated fruit that carries on for a very long finish. Gorgeous now but this has a long life ahead of itself (771 views) | |
| Tasted by Anonymous on 12/6/2009 & rated 94 points: 30 minute decant. Amazing minerality and length. Preferred this over the 06 KB Koplen that was served next to this wine. (978 views) | |
| Tasted by jrobs7777 on 12/5/2009 & rated 91 points: Pinot Noir: Burgundy vs. New World (Our House (2033 Brandywine St., Philadelphia)): Dark core. Nutmeg and assorted spices on nose with a good amount of darker fruit. After tasting through the wines single blind, this was a disappointment. After exposure to air for about an hour, it really showed well and scored on the high end of my initial range. Nice acid on the palate. Licorice and well integrated oak. Initial bitterness gave way to nice balanced fruit. Good concentration and weight. A nip on the finish, which is holding this back. (937 views) | |
| Tasted by ews3 on 12/5/2009 & rated 92 points: Blind Pinot Noir Tasting (Roberts House): legs on glass indicative of high alcohol. nice fruit profile, with blackberry, raspberry, as well as some clove/sweet spice. medium(+) acid keeps this fresh, and although it is oaky, thie oak is well integrated and became even better integrated with air time. some heat on the finish detracts. My guess was the Kosta Browne. (718 views) | |
| Tasted by nvandyk on 11/19/2009 & rated 95 points: Couldn't resist. Barely settled from shipping but what a terrific wine! Light purple, more plum than cherry, and reminiscent in that regard of some of the Moulin Rouge that Mark made at PM, though a little lighter. Complex spicebox nose, with some leather and strawberry. Promiment and somewhat unique strawberry palate, with a lot of depth, a long finish, and without the heat that a lot of quality pinots from California have these days. This is a delicious wine and it will surely improve significantly in bottle. (1194 views) | |
| Tasted by MarkC on 11/7/2009 & rated 95 points: Wow. Even with "travel shock" potentially in the mix, this was pretty awesome. A nice return to 2004 levels of enjoyment. Huge amounts of clove and hard spice on the nose, along with dark fruits. The palate showed berry compote, strawberry, a nice backbone, and a long finish. Excellent! (PE: 97) (1412 views) |

About red wine Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia) Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success. WineAmerica (National Association of American Wineries) | Free the Grapes! California Wines (Wine Institute of California) California is one of the most diverse wine regions in the world, with almost 100 grape varieties grown in almost 10 viticultural areas, including dozens of different microclimates and soil types, as well as a very individualistic set of winemakers, many with international experience, which adds to and deepens that diversity.
