| | 2000 Brewer-Clifton Pinot Noir Julia's -- a terrific Pinot from the Santa Maria Valley, still dark, though holding the decanter above a light shows it to be slightly cloudy with some serious flecks of skin floating through it, but that's all forgivable because this wine has a great nose of plum pudding, cherry jam, and violets; medium-to-full bodied, it hides its 14.4% alcohol completely in a palate-filling swirl of plum, cherry, spicecake, licorice, white chocolate, and faint earthy, mushroomy flavors that expand on the palate, with almost perfect level of acidity; long finish with light tannins and lots of fruit hanging on. A wine with a future, I think. App. 92-3 pts., maybe more in a couple of years. | | | |

| | one of my thanksgiving day wines, this is excellent now with an even better future. a great combination of california and burgundy. i love what these guys are doing with both their wines and melville. i am also amazed how many of the burghounds on the parker board trash these wines. | | | |
