2009 George Vintage VII Leras Familly Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir (200 cases made)
"Muted, but very pleasing scents of exotically spiced berries and black cherries. The flavor profile follows in step with a persistent, grippy finish that is memorable. Flat-out delicious with a fresh and lively texture on the palate."
2014 George Vintage XII Ceremonial Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir (288 cases made)
"Moderately light cherry red color in the glass. Toasty oak engages the black cherry fruit in this wine with a luscious, sappy fruit core. The flaunting, very ripe fruit is hard to ignore, but is superseded by oak-induced flavors of herbs, cola and dark caramel. I want to like this wine, but oak gets in the way."
2014 George Vintage XII Hansen Vineyards Russian River Valley Pinot Noir (188 cases made)
"Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. The telltale pungent manure aroma typical of this vineyard shows up on the nose as well as the scent of cigar. A very unique and terroirdriven wine that consistently offers a strong manure flavor in each vintage accenting the black cherry and black raspberry fruit flavors. Silky in the mouth with a modest finish that ends with some warmth."
