Tasting note: Intense and powerful, this is full-blown and deeply flavored. The flavors keep building, centered around ripe cherry, raspberry and wild berry, with mineral and pebble notes that are tightly focused. Drink now through 2015. 525 cases made. (94 pts. JL, Wine Spectator)

Drink: Through 2015

Tasting note: There are approximately 500 bottles of the 2006 Pinot Noir Rosemary’s Vineyard. Sweet raspberry and black cherry intermixed with earth, underbrush, and spice box aromas emerge from this dark ruby-colored, medium to full-bodied, pure, elegant, and nicely-structured Pinot. It can be drunk now and over the next 7-8 years.

The unquestionable Edna Valley reference point for Burgundy’s varietals is Talley Vineyards. Their wines eclipse any other wines made from these varietals in this region. (89+ pts. Robert Parker)

Drink: 2008 - 2016

Tasting note: This is clearly the best wine in the group with superior aromatic depth and layering of the spicy cassis and raspberry liqueur aromas that complement the rich, dense and sappy flavors brimming with dry extract and as much depth on the long and palate staining finish as there was on the nose. About the only nit here is a touch of backend warmth but otherwise, this is really a lovely effort. (Drink starting 2011) (92 points Burghound)
