2006 Silver Mountain Vineyards Muns Vineyard Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir
14.2% alc., $38.
Clones 114, 115, 667 and 777. Grapes are hand-picked, de-stemmed, whole berry fermented with cap
management using an air-induced process (PulseAir) that is gentle on the fruit. Aged 17 months in 33% new
tight-grained Hungarian oak.
·
Interesting aromatic profile of wild berries, cherries, herbs and oak spice. An
earthiness and minerality is evident in the cherry flavors and there is a good dose of citric peel on the finish.

2005 Muns Vineyard Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir
This wine was only bottled a week ago, but the racking
was very gentle and the wine is showing beautifully. The aromatics are striking with plenty of wood spice
and spearmint.

2005 Sonnet Muns Vineyard Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir
13.8% alc..
·
The
2005 vintage in the Santa Cruz Mountains was on the ‘weighty’ side and this wine shows the bold structure
of the vintage. Again, the aromatics are enchanting featuring bright cherries, spices, and ginger. The
velvety texture alone is worth the price of admission. Perfectly balanced and thoroughly enjoyable.

2005 Silver Mountain Vineyards Muns Vineyard Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir
13.8% alc., $38. Ed Muns and Mary Lindsay farm this challenging site at 2,600
feet characterized by crumbling slate soil from a former sea bottom.
·
Complex aromatics
featuring strawberry, raspberry, fresh hay, rhubarb, iodine and a touch of funk. Soft,
light and gentle with a good acidic tang. Nothing really stands out on the palate, and
there is a lack of punch, but the wine drinks fine.
