Varietal: Pinot Noir
Vintage: 2007
Vineyard: Alpine Vineyard
Appellation: Santa Cruz Mountains
Recommendation: Hold

January, 2010: The firm and detailed intensity of the 2007 vintage perfectly complements the trademark richness and generosity of Alpine Vineyard. The nose is exotic with complex black and red fruit, savory herbs and forest floor notes. This is more structured and in need of more cellar time than the 2006 bottling of this wine. Hold.
