A very clearly well-made wine—the longtime former Beaulieu winemaker Joel Aiken’s name is listed as winemaker—the Pinot is sourced from high-elevation vineyards above the town of Mendocino and fermented in small lots. Beautifully textured, aromas open slowly, dominated by rose petal and violets and a touch of cola spice, developing further into dark cherry and earthy tones. Rich and layered, it’s a great value for lovers of bigger-style Pinot and will age another few years for sure. ——V.B.(11/1/2011)—— 89
