2007 Sequana Sundawg Ridge Russian River Pinot Noir
97 pts (WE) This distinctive Pinot Noir's source is a tiny vineyard in cool Green
Valley; the winegrower is James MacPhail, whose own MacPhail Pinot
Noirs are so good. The wine itself is totally dry and silky and firm in
acidity, yet soft in fine tannins. You might call it noble. It's
eruptive in cherries, sweet smoky bacon, raspberry granola and oaky
sandalwood. Gorgeous, seductive and brilliant, a truly great Pinot Noir
that's impeccable now. Wine Enthusiast (09/09)
