Articles About Storrs WineryReviewed Wines2005 Storrs Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir 15.3% alc., $36. · Very dark reddish-purple in color. Opulent aromas of dark berries and damp earth. A big mouthful of dark fruit framed by very strong tannins. Atypical for a Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir, the wine is lacking acidity and brightness of fruit. Reviewed May 7, 2008 ARTICLE »
2004 Storrs Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir A cuvée of Christie and Saveria Vineyards · An elegant and fruity Pinot Noir that goes down easy. Reviewed April 1, 2007 ARTICLE »
2004 Storrs Wildcat Ridge Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot 14.5% alc., $40. A reserve blend of selected barrels. · The Wildcat Ridge is a more structured and complex offering. Aromas of black cherries, ripe strawberries and cola with a hint of alcohol lead to a palate loaded with wild strawberries, toast and smoke. The texture is ridiculous - rich, thick, and mouth coating. It is wines like this that make you look around and thank God you’re alive. Reviewed April 1, 2007 ARTICLE »
