Bishop Creek Pinot noir 03
winery: Bishop Creek Winery
Dark color, silky texture, up-front yummy sweet flavors of black raspberry, cherry, spice, cola, and an intriguing hint of kalamata olive. The wine has a long, clean finish. A most appealing wine, similar to the Black Cap Pinot noir 03, made from the same vineyard's fruit, Bishop Creek Vineyard, managed by Jason Lett, who also had a hand in making this wine. Recommended. -jy Made by Rob Stuart from Bishop Creek Vineyard fruit. Jason Lett (Black Cap) is the vineyard manager and assists in the winemaking. Similar to the Black Cap, which is also made from fruit from the Bishop Creek Vineyard.

Wine Spectator rating 88 points: "Dense and distinctive for its black olive and mineral flavors around a plump core of blackberry, persisting on the fine-grained finish. Drink now through 2009." H.S.
