Wine Spectator:  Rated this as "outstanding - a wine of superior character and style". 

"Intense and powerful, this is full-blown and deeply flavored. The flavors keep building, centered around ripe cherry, raspberry and wild berry, with mineral and pebble notes that are tightly focused. Drink now through 2015. 525 cases made."  Wine Spectator, March, 2009.  More on wine critic ratings, click here.

Connoisseurs' Guide:  Rated as a "Best Buy". 

"Sweet and rife with succulent well-ripened cherries in both its outgoing aromas and flavors, it is a rounded and very accessible Pinot that sports just the right touch of pert acid. It takes on a touch of complexity from its appointment of slightly dusty oak spice, and it will pair up nicely over the near to mid-term with juicy pork preparations. Best buy in the market - rounded and outgoing."  Connoisseurs' Guide, October, 2008

Winery:  "The 2006 Rosemary�s Vineyard Pinot Noir has light aromas of deep black cherry. Aeration reveals classic pinot noir flavors of blackberries, raspberries, and earth with the classic plush texture and elegance that is the hallmark of this vineyard.

This wine was produced entirely from Pinot Noir grapes grown sustainably in Rosemary's Vineyard.

The 2006 Rosemary�s Vineyard Pinot Noir is a great match with delicate dark meat dishes such as braised lamb and duck confit."
