2011 george Vintage IX Leras Family Vineyard Russian River Valley Sonoma County Pinot Noir
13.3% alc.,199 cases, $60.
·
Moderately dark
reddish-purple color in the glass. A terrific expression of Pinot Noir with hi-tone
aromas of fresh, spiced black cherries and a discreetly concentrated core of
black cherry and black raspberry flavors. The nose really makes you stop and
take notice. Very approachable with gentle tannins and a good cut of acidity on
the citrus-hued finish. There is a very slight vegetal note in the background,
reflecting some lack of ripeness. Still the wine is a beautiful expression of the
vintage and Very good.

Moderate reddish-purple color in the glass. Aromas of fresh cherry pie, baking spice and dried rose
petals rise out of the glass. A charming wine that is light in weight but full-flavored with notes of redder cherries
and berries, Chinese 5-spice and herbs, finishing with a spark of citrus driven acidity. A gentle, graceful wine.
Very good (+).

2008 george Leras Family Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
83 cases, $50. A favorite in Vegas.

This is the densest wine in the lineup with oodles of purple, even meaty, fruit. Everything is pulled together
nicely with a deft touch of oak and well balanced acidity. The rich fruit steals the show, but the wine is focused
like a laser, leaving a seductive, satisfying and lingering impression. Very good.

smells of the forest with oak and floral highlights. Juicy strawberry, cranberry and cherry fruit flavors. Herbs,
oak and toast are evident but subtle. The fruit is pulled into line by a spark of acidity. Hi-toned, elegant and

Intoxicating aromas of
fresh cherry and raspberry fruit. I wanted to dive in. Medium-weighted, with juicy sweet fruit that is
perfectly ripe. Clean and lively on the finish. This is one I could snuggle up to.
