Review:

The 2009 Pinot Noir The Knife Edge lacks the depth and complexity of its 2008 counterpart but still offers plenty of ripe, plush fruit that will provide immediate gratification for those in need of a Pinot fix. - Jay Miller, Wine Advocate

2008 Vintage Tasting Notes

2008 Tanzer - 92 points - Vivid red. Black raspberry and cherry on the nose, with complicating notes of anise, black tea and herbs. Smooth and sweet in the mouth, with concentrated dark berry preserve and bitter cherry flavors showing excellent clarity. Closes firm and bright, with dusty tannins adding shape to the impressively persistent, sappy finish. This deserves some bottle age. - Josh Raynolds

2008 Wine Spectator - 90 points - This red is bright with blackberry, raspberry and floral flavors, lingering on the open-weave finish. This one has presence. Drink now through 2013. 460 cases made. - H.S.

The nose of crushed raspberries complicated by notes of stone is simply gorgeous. Succulent, full, and harmonious in the mouth, there is a sense of transparency and restraint, density without fat, the texture silky yet shot through with vibrant acidity. The finish is very long. This wine's acidity continues to integrate and should allow it to age for seven to ten years. - the winery
