Michael Edwards: A mercurial growing season, hot spring but a damp, prolonged period from flowering to harvest start (107 days). Bright salmon, an ‘Atlantic,’ delicately scented vintage, fresh, attractive, minerally. Slight lack of flesh but pure, kinetic, and persistent. 16.5 2006 Similar subtle color to ’07 but a much more generous wine from a dry, hot summer, Pinot Noir the king. Lovely orchard-fruits nose; hedonistic, gras, with compensating freshness and elegant acidity. 17.5
