Score 92/100 · Drink 2005-2010, Pierre Rovani, Oct 2002

At first, the nose of the 1999 Pinot Noir Beacon Hill had aromas reminiscent of roasted bone marrow, a smell I adore. With aeration, black cherries and spices emerged. Medium to full-bodied and dense, this wine had fabulous concentration and depth. Cedar-laced black fruits and loads of ripe tannin can be found in this fleshy, complete wine. Projected maturity: 2005-2010. Tel. (503) 662-5600

Bright, saturated ruby-red. Black raspberry and blackcurrant pastille sweetened by sexy oak tones of sandalwood and nutmeg and complicated by a gamey nuance. Concentrated, layered and deep, with lovely sweetness and shape and cheekcoating fruit flavors. Quite oaky but has the creamy, dense fruit to support the wood. Finishes ripe but a bit tight, with dusty, fine tannins.
