holds the package together nicely. Very good.

2005 george Vintage III Nuptial Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
13.9% alc., 322 cases., $50.
·
Stunning nose initially featuring deep cherry aromas with a subtle whiff of clove spice. With time in the glass
aromas of porto and charred wood take over. Lush tasting red cherry and berry core that picks up intensity
over time in the glass. Beautifully balanced with bright acidity on the refreshing finish. Good richness and
staying power. Very good.

2005 george Vintage IV Nuptial Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
$50. George Levkoff is a Williams Selyem offshoot who crafts his Pinot Noirs in
the image of those that Burt Williams produced in the early 1990s. He uses
100% new Francois Freres French oak but the oak is never intrusive. His Pinot
Noirs are quintessential Russian River Pinot Noir and every year make my All
American list.

Balance and finesse with power is the hallmark of george Pinots
and this one is right in step. The aromatics feature crushed strawberries, dusty
cherries, and spice. The flavors are long in the mouth and echo the aromas. A fine, velveteen texture is
complimented byperfectly integrated tannins. A wine that caresses. Had to swallow this one.

I went ga-ga over this one. Terrific and alluring aromas of Bing cherry, sandalwood,
root beer and toast. Juicy flavors of cherry cola, mocha and spice including cinnamon and sassafras.
Although light in color and body, it packs a wallop. Elegant, feminine and balanced beautifully. Pinot
Noir all decked out in its finest lingerie. You’ll need a cold shower after drinking this one.
