Articles About TAZ VineyardsReviewed Wines![]() 2007 TAZ Cuyama River Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir 14.5% alc.. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. Very appealing perfume of black cherries, spice and mocha. Soft and velvety on the palate with tasty ripe Pinot fruits set off by brown spices. A bit earthy and briny. Very good. Reviewed April 8, 2010 ARTICLE »
2007 TAZ Fiddlestix Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 14.8% alc.. · Moderately colored with redder tones. Shy nose that picks up interest with time in the glass revealing scents of dark red fruits and toasty oak. Lovely core of smoky dark red cherry and berry fruits with an underlying earthiness. Fairly bold and tannic with more oak than I prefer. Good. Reviewed April 8, 2010 ARTICLE »
