Terravin Hillside Pinot Noir 2003  E-mail a friend

Stephen Tanzer - September 2005 89 Points Saturated full red. Less flamboyant on the nose than the regular release, with smoky, spicy oak dominating strawberry and pepper today. Then deeper and richer in the mouth, with slow-to-emerge flavors of plum, raspberry, violet and sandalwood. Ultimately fresher and gutsier than the basic bottling, with good inner-mouth energy. Finishes with fine-grained tannins and good grip
