It is east of Monterey County, on the far side of the Gavilan Mountains, in a part of California that does not always get the attention it deserves. San Benito County’s maze of mountains, canyons, and valleys — some running east-west rather than north-south — channels substantial marine influence from the Pacific, only 20 to 30 miles away. The result is a long, cool growing season with the kind of diurnal temperature variation that builds complexity in Pinot Noir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother excellent vintage from our vineyards in the Central Coast. The ripe aromas of cherry, raspberry, green tea, mocha and spice dominate the nose. This wine shows richer and broader tannins than the 2004 version, with a better overall concentration and depth of fruit. A long sweet cherry and silky oak finish complete this wine. Needs time to mature in the bottle.\u003cbr\u003e\n—Winemaker Bob Cabral\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother excellent vintage from our vineyards in the Central Coast.

Suave, silky and bright, with energetic raspberry and wild strawberry flavors gently lifted by soft acids. Fills out on the finish, which displays impressive depth and lingering sweetness. (ST, 06\/2007)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e90 points Connoisseurs Guide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith the kind of deep and very pure, ripe-cherry fruit that marks the best of its kin from cooler northern climes, this remarkable effort from Central Coast grapes is spot on with regard to Pinot Noir focus and feel. It is full and fleshy yet never seems weighty, and shows a spark of perfectly placed acid that provides brightness and palatal length. Rich, genuinely graceful and very long at the finish, it comes without need for further aging but promises to stay in good shape for a number of years.
