2009 Senders Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
14.2% alc., $35.
·
Moderately light reddish-purple color in the glass.
Aromas of super ripe fruit, dominated by pruney, raisiny notes. A well-crafted wine with modest concentration,
supple tannins, and a very silky mouthfeel, but regrettably, the black cherry and dark berry fruit is simply too
ripe for my taste. Good.

2007 Senders Wines Las Brisas Vineyard Reserve Carneros Pinot Noir
14.7% alc..
·
Enticing aromas of ripe dark stone fruits with hints of oak toast,
smoke and violets. Flavorful essence of fresh picked dark cherries and berries
accented by a subtle grilled note. The tannins and acidity are more
harmonious compared to the regular bottling and the silky smooth mouth feel is
a come on. Veers to the edge of being over ripe, but falls short. The fruit
really makes a statement. Very good.

2007 Senders Wines Las Brisas Vineyard Carneros Pinot Noir
14.3% alc., $30.
·
Lively aromas of black
cherries and raspberries grab your attention over time in the glass, backed by a vegetal green bean note. Dark
red fruited including currants and roasted plums fan out nicely on the palate with a refreshing lift of acidity on
the back end. Good.
