($65) Dark red. Explosive strawberry and raspberry liqueur scents are accented by exotic spice and cola notes on the vibrant nose. Enticing sweet red berry flavors are lifted by fresh acidity and firmed by dusty tannins. The finish of suave, focused red fruits shows excellent persistence and purity. Platonic Russian River pinot that's irresistible right now.

It was difficult to penetrate and evaluate. I love the sexy, sensual character of the 2005 Pinot Noir Westside Road Neighbors. There are just under 1,000 cases of this glorious Pinot, which comes across like a premier cru from the Cote de Beaune. Dark plum/ruby-tinged with sweet kirsch, pomegranate, raspberry, and dusty, loamy soil scents, this medium to full-bodied, elegant, pure wine is totally captivating. It is everything a top-notch Pinot Noir should be.

(Twenty-Fifth Anniversary) Floral, lavender and rose petal scents are richer on the palate, with plum and black cherry flavors. Tight and compact, this provides a glimpse of what lies ahead on the finish, where the fruit joins the mineral and fresh earth scents. 876 cases made.
