A lineup of 10 August West and Roar Pinots, 2007-2011, all made by wine maker Ed Kurtzman, who attended our tasting. This one was a bit faded so ranked lower than its peers.

What a beautiful perfectly positioned wine. Love the expressive nose of sweet blackberries and smokey cardomom. Palate shows wonderful creaminess of black/red fruits starting with some sweet ripe blackberries, boysenberries and red currant. This is still textured and layered perfectlu. It is elegance personified and really in a wonderful place at this moment. Weightless and deft, this glides across the palate effortlessly. Balance is perfect and finish brutally long. This is the schnizzzle all the others want to be. Wow (95 pts.)
