(from Sonoma Coast fruit, bottled at 14.2%; $54) A cool, pretty and airy red berry fruit nose precedes delicious, vibrant and lightly mineral-suffused middle weight flavors that culminate in a tangy finish that is at present mildly drying though I suspect that it will eventually smooth out. Once again, I offer the benefit of the doubt.

($54) Deep ruby color. Strikingly pure aromas of blackberry, blueberry, Asian spices and fresh flowers. Broad, deep and sweet, offering vivid red and dark berry flavors, silky texture and a bright kick of minerals on the back end. Leaves a strong spicy quality behind, along with an echo of blackberry. This is really delicious.

The 2006 Pinot Noir Peay Vineyard offers hints of tobacco leaf intermixed with red currant, sweet cherry, crushed rocks, and spring flowers. It is well-made, seemingly lower in acidity than some of the other wines, but solidly made and deep.
