Introduction

These were cracked after an afternoon tasting at Lynmar and Gary Ferrell wineries with Traci's friend Ellen and her folks who were up from San Diego.

Flight 1 (2 Notes)

  • 2005 Hartford / Hartford Court Pinot Noir Velvet Sisters 90 Points

    USA, California, North Coast, Anderson Valley

    Cracked at dinner at Willi's Seafood in Healdsburg. Drinking actually very well. Terrific balance with nice acidity, bright cherries, a little allspice and some plum. It's plush and mouthfilling without being heavy or cloying. Enjoy!

  • 2007 August West Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard 92 Points

    USA, California, Central Coast, Santa Lucia Highlands

    Cracked this around noon to give it some air and drank around 6 pm at dinner at Willi's--wine was bottled about 1 month ago.

    07 Ed hit some homeruns and this is no exception. Rich, slightly sappy fruit, terrific acidity, strawberries, cherries, pepper with hint of underbrush and a very lovely perfumey nose. I really enjoyed this wine although it is obviously too young...
