Pinkish-red watermelon
color in the glass. A European-styled rosé with juicy strawberry, cherry, cranberry
and melon flavors exhibiting moderate richness and a satiny texture. One of the
better rosés I have had from California. Very good.

2006 JCB by Jean-Charles Boisset No. 7 Sonoma Collection Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., 338 cases, $42.50.

The dark-fruited nose is dominated by oak char, brier and
green pea scents. On the palate, the well oaked dark berry fruit is earthy and tart with a
brisk citrusy finish. Unsatisfactory.

cases, $63.75.

Lovely scent of dark stone and berry fruits, oak, redwood and rhubarb. Full,
plush and striking core of dark berries and plums with a moderate tug of oak, firm tannins
and bright acidity. The silky texture is alluring. Very good (-).
