Rich red color. Hints of raspberry, citrus, and black pepper lead this wine to a great first impression. Flavors of cherry, raspberry, and strawberry are carefully balanced with fine grained tannins. This wine finishes strong with crisp acidity and expansive tannins. Drink now through 2015.

Here’s a big, extracted young Pinot Noir, superrich in the cherry, black raspberry, cola, pomegranate and licorice flavors that the vineyard so effortlessly produces. It’s a dramatic wine, richly oaked, crisply dry and even a little tannic, and will probably be drunk too young by most of its fans. Best after 2008 and through 2012. -Steve Heimoff

This year's release from the renowned Rosella's Vineyard is a complex and somewhat exotic wine with layers of rich oak and spice set atop very deep and well-defined fruit. More fleshy than velvety in feel, it conveys a fine sense of concentration and weight without tilting to heaviness, and, if presently roughened by a bit of eleventh-hour astringency, it is still very much driven by fruit at the finish and looks like a sure bet to improve with aging. -Charles Olken

Complex and stylish, with a tasty mix of light toasty oak, ripe plum, black cherry and wild berry fruit, shaded by spicy floral scents that give this a pretty aroma. Balanced, with lively acidity and firm tannins. Drink now through 2012. 339 cases made. -James Laube
