2006 Vintage Tasting Notes
Parker Wine Advocate Rating 90 points:"The 2006 Pinot Noir Lorna-Marie offers greater aromatic complexity, a more layered palate with gobs of spicy red fruits, excellent depth, good structure for the vintage, and 1-2 years of aging potential. Drink this well-made effort from 2010 to 2018."
2005 Vintage Tasting Notes
2005 Vintage Wine Spectator 94 points: Big and bold, but beautifully formed to show some restraint to the structure. Offers scads of black cherry, wild strawberry and sassafras, with a host of savory spices that just don't quit as the finish expands and soars. Built to age. Best from 2010 through 2017. 95 cases made. –HS
From the winery: "Our most aromatic wine to date. You find the usual exotic spice in the nose that is a signature of Patton Valley wines, along with dried flowers, cherries, pipe tobacco and earth. In the mouth the wine is round and rich yet elegant and pretty. Red fruits, cherry and currant, clear the way to a midpalate of spices, earth and sweet oak. The ripe tannins linger into more red fruit on the long finish. A highly refined wine that relies more on finesse and charm than power."
