2008 Toulouse Estate Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., pH 3.89, 550 cases, $50.
·
Moderately light in
color. The nose is savory with notes of cherries, oak and a whiff of alcohol. Oak-kissed dilute fruit with a hint
of root beer. No smoke notes but seems stripped. Decent.

2007 Toulouse Vineyards Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
1,140 cases, $42. Released
February 2009.
·
Moderately deep reddish-purple color. Lovely aromas of fresh cherries
and spice. Mouth filling and concentrated flavors of Bing cherries, Asian spice, dark
chocolate and smoke with a mild grip of tannins. Focused and tenacious with a smooth
texture and very user friendly. Got duck?

2006 Toulouse Estate Anderson Valley Rosé
This is a terrific wine and
the best rosé I tasted over the weekend. There is plenty of berry fruit with a
touch of orange peel. The brisk acidity leads to a refreshing finish.

2006 Toulouse Estate Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
$39.
·
Sporting a mélange of
red and black fruits in the aromas and flavors and lively acidity, this one is just
fine. Still an infant, but showing nicely at this stage.

2003 Toulouse Estate Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.1% alc., 1625 cases, $30.
·
A light-bodied wine
with an interesting nose of buttered cinnamon toast. The fruit is accompanied by bread dough flavors.
The finish is notable for lingering vanillin oak flavors, mild drying tannins and a little heat.

2003 Toulouse Estate Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.1% alc., 1,625 cases, $30. Estate vineyard is planted to clones 115, 667, 777 and 2A. Aged 23 months in French oak.
·
This beauty has an elegant style that I admire. The nose is subdued, but offers delicate rose petal, raspberry and cherry perfume. The sweet cherry and raspberry fruit keeps you coming back for another sip. Despite a lengthy time in barrel, the oak is nicely integrated. The wine has a good acid backbone and the finish is soft and lingering.
