  An absolutely wonderful and certainly peaking effort. The nose provides fully mature and elegant strawberries accompanied by subtle wet leather and deciduous forest floor. The palate is sublimely integrated with a close to perfect balance between fruit, acidity and tannins. Tannins are best described as soft and velvety. Texture and structure reveal this wine is probably at peak point right now with "primary" fruit at its best! As written before, some Pinots tend to provide this particular impression when emerging from the tunnel. (score is 94+)

  A wonderful and perhaps peaking Pinot, the 2007 Rio Vista Vyd delivers prime drinking tonight. The nose provides sun warm and fully mature strawberries adjoined by subtle saddle leather, wet forest floor and subtle - but still present - rainy deciduous forest. The palate is perfectly integrated with a lovely balance between fruit, acidity and tannins. The latter being mellow, soft and silky. Texture and structure reveal it is time to drink up, but I have no experience of this producer. Some Pinots provide this particular impression when emerging from the tunnel. Still a lovely wine, worth tasting if given the chance.

  Ruby with medium weight in the glass. Cherry cola and pith on the nose. Cherry and cranberry on the palate. Solid structure. Short finish.
