2008 Native 9 Pinot Noir Santa Maria
94pts(WE)Talk about sensuous! This one’s sheer silk and satin, a voluptuous wine that seduces the senses. Beyond the fabulous texture is a complex structure and tiers of flavors, such as fresh wild cherries and raspberries, bacon, black pepper and lots of sweet, smoky new oak. An absolutely gorgeous wine that should age for 6–8 years S.H. Wine Enthusiast (9/1/2010)
The 2008 Native9 delivers a lovely aromatic melange of
blackcurrant berry, boysenberry and nutmeg, a richly-fruited, spicy
palate impression, and an overall suffusion of California Bay Laurel,
caraway, white pepper and saddle leather. Library books, liturgical
incense, fruit preserves and rich salted nuts also dominate a finish of
impressive grip. Rancho Ontiveros VYD
