2005 Jack Creek Cellars Estate York Mountain Pinot Noir
$32.
·
Appealing aromatics of dark fruits, anise and clove. There is a
substantial dark fruit core which is still overpowered by oak at this
time.

2005 Jack Creek Cellars Reserve York Mountain Pinot Noir
Even more structure and power here, syrah-like.
Despite the prodigious fruit, the texture is silky and comforting. Not
for the faint of heart.

2004 Jack Creek Cellars Kruse Vineyard York Mountain Templeton Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., $32.
·
A medium-bodied wine
with a warm robe of dark violet. The nose is substantial with notes of
dark cherries and licorice. With air time the wine becomes really
plush on the palate - as smooth as a baby’s bottom. The finish lingers
with black raspberry, oak and fine dusty tannins. A wine that
really reflects the terroir of this vineyard.

2004 Jack Creek Cellars Kruse Vineyard York Mountain Templeton Reserve Pinot Noir

alc., $42.

Everything is ramped up here. The color is dark. The nose is a bit closed at this point
with buttery toast and earth notes and a hint of alcohol. This is a rich, full-bodied wine with mountainous
fruit, especially plum flavors. There is a solid backbone of oak and tannins that works in harmony with
the fruit. The finish is pure and clean. A Big Gulp for lovers of hardy Cali Pinot Noir.
