It is a hand-selected cuv&#233;e of only the finest Pinot Noir barrels in our cellars. Diverse vineyards produce multiple layers of rich fruit, spice and mineral characteristics, which complement the silky smooth texture of this wine. <br> -Bill Brosseau, Winemaker <p> 195 cases produced <b> <p> </b> <b><p>92 pts <i>Wine Enthusiast</i></b> <br> <i>A best barrels blend of the winery&#8217;s various vineyards, which are numerous throughout California, Niclaire shows a balance and elegance that prove Pinot doesn&#8217;t have to come from a single vineyard to be great. The &#8217;05 is a delicious wine, soft and gentle and rich in flavor, yet dry and balanced. It fills the mouth with cherry pie, cassis, cola, Asian spice and smoky oak flavors that last long on the finish. </i> -Steve Heimoff <p> </b> <b><p>92 pts <i>Pinot Report</i></b> <br> <i>AMedium ruby color; earthy, cherry aromas; rich, bright cherry flavors, some spicy and sweet oak notes; good structure and balance; long finish.
