Admirable attack, length and finish in a mid weight style offering flavors of dark red cherry and berry framed by soft tannins and invigorating acidity. Very giving and enjoyable now with the balance to age nicely. Score: 90. Reviewed November 12, 2017 WINERY » ARTICLE »

2014 Wonderment Dr. Stan’s Vineyard Sonoma Carneros Pinot Noir

14.4% alc., 74 cases, $50. Dijon clone 115. · Moderately light reddish purple color in the glass. Immensely charming nose with hi-tone aromas of cherry, red berry, red hard candy and sandalwood. Stylistically similar to the Dutton-Campbell bottling with a sleek and elegant demeanor but with better oak integration. The flavors of red cherry and berry are framed by delicate tannins and sound acidity. A red-fruited joy. Score: 92. Reviewed October 30, 2016 WINERY » ARTICLE »

2012 Wonderment Dr. Stan’s Vineyard Carneros Pinot Noir

13.5% alc., pH 3.65, 79 cases, $50. From a vineyard of less than 1 acre of 30+ year-old Pinot Noir vines planted to Dijon 115. · Moderate ruby color in the glass. Oak-kissed cherry perfume leads to a mid weight earthy wine featuring flavors of cherry, dried herbs, cola and noticeable oak overlay. Well-structured with dry tannins and enough acidity to bring the fruit to life. The wine finishes with a modicum of juicy cherry fruit. When tasted later in the day from a previously opened and re-corked wine, the oak was more integrated and the wine was noticeably more pleasing. Score: 90. Reviewed January 23, 2015 WINERY » ARTICLE »
