2007 Flying Goat Rio Vista Vineyard Santa Rita Hills Clone 115 Pinot Noir
(barrel sample)
·
Sappy young fruit on the nose, probably not finished MLF. LEGS in the glass. Rich, round, laser
pure, dark fruits. Fine length and integrated acid and tannin. Very promising.

2005 Flying Goat Rio Vista Vineyard Santa Rita Hills Dijon Clones Pinot Noir
Dark color,
dark fruits and herbs, prominent oak. Huge and glycerol-sweet. Finish more open with time in
glass.

2005 Flying Goat Cellars Dierberg Vineyard Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir
14.6% alc., 425
cases, $42. Norm Yost produces small lots of several Pinot Noirs from vineyards
in Santa Barbara County and San Luis Obispo County. He is a true
garagiste with a small winery in the Lompoc “wine ghetto.” He has been at
it for many years, knows what he is doing, and his wines have been consistently
fine in recent years.
·
Nice clean mineral infused cherry fruit on the entry
which follows through to the finish. Not particularly complex but well-crafted,
harmonious and easy to drink.

Every bit as good as the Rancho Santa Rosa bottling
and still available. The Dierberg is aromatically stylish with a palate which is soft, plush, long and tasty.
Flat out beautiful. Oh, the Dierberg also won a Gold Medal in the same competition.

Both 2004 and 2005 wines exhibit beautifully balance with scrumptious cherry
fruit and deft touch of oak. They both have lovely depth and richness of flavor that
carries over to a finish of great persistence. Highly recommended.
