1997 Pinot Noir

"Allan Green has fashioned another delicious Pinot Noir from several top vineyards in Mendocino County, the primary still being the Roederer Estate Vineyard. This is very pretty Pinot with plenty of wild strawberry and spice flavors. I find it always one of the most elegant, sophisticated wines made in Mendocino." -- California Wine Merchant            

"Everything a California Pinot Noir should be...and at a price that's something to write home about. Full-bodied, plush, ripe, succulent, dark ruby with flavors of black cherry, chocolate, cola and dried herbs." -- Wine Today.com

"Light to medium-light ruby; pleasant, medium-light floral, smoky, cherry fruit aroma with a early hint of sulfur; medium body; slightly rich, bright cherry fruit flavors; medium tannin; lingering aftertaste. Above-average quality. Shows straightforward varietal character. Recommended."-- California Grapevine
