1999 BROGAN CELLARS LONE REDWOOD RANCH RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY PINOT NOIR- made by Burt Williams` daughter Margi who has establish her own identity as a winemaker and learned well from her father, this is re-visit of a wine I`ve had a few times and always found it to be generously giving of joyous gifts; I believe I have this right that most if not all of the fruit came from Rochioli Vineyard and was the second pick of the harvest; decanted with sediment throwing and then poured with lots of changes in the first few minutes; the colour was a dark crimson; the aromas jumped out of the glass with generous amounts of spicy wild cranberry/ cherry; the taste had more of the same plus some smoke and cinnamon; it`s so tasty and still youthful and vibrant; full bodied, rich flavours and a great mouthfeel; wondrous juice.

Another good showing. Velvety smooth with sweet red cherry fruit. I am not a huge fan of the style, but those who are would probably rate this even higher.

A dramatically improved showing from the last bottle. Round and velvety with sweet dark cherry fruit. Fans of this style will probably really like this.

Really, really good! Recent purchase, wish I could buy 12 more. Still full of life and flavor.

Dilute cherry cough syrup. Sickly sweet with enormous heat showing through. Not a good showing.
