2009 ISABEL ESTATE VINEYARD PINOT NOIR
30th October 2012 EROBERTPARKER.COMPale ruby colored, the 2009 Pinot Noir is scented of kirsch, raspberry preserves and warm cranberries with an undercurrent of baking spices and dried Provence herbs. Medium bodied, it is delicately fruited with evolving warm berry flavors, soft tannins and just enough acid lift, finishing with medium to long persistence. Drink it now through 2014.

2006 ISABEL PINOT NOIR
17th September 2010 STEPHEN TANZER’S INTERNATIONAL WINE CELLARBright medium red. Musky aromas of wild red berries and smoky minerality. Supple and silky, with a restrained sweetness and a suave texture to the fine-grained raspberry and smoke flavors. Savory, soil-inflected wine with a bit of smoky oak on the back end. I'd drink this within the next couple of years. (World Wine Headquarters CA) 88pts

2009 ISABEL ESTATE SAUVIGNON BLANC
17th September 2010 STEPHEN TANZER’S INTERNATIONAL WINE CELLARVery pale bright yellow. Aromas of mandarin orange and minerals. Suave on entry, then rich and silky in the middle, with the mineral component giving the wine a tactile impression. At once sweet and firm, this youthful wine clings nicely on the aftertaste.
