2003 Stephen's Pinot Noir
William Cain vineyard |
Although it’s less pricey than the winery’s Encell Pinot, I slightly prefer this one for its accessibility. It’s a tart, silky wine, with coffee, cherry and spice flavors, and a real drink-me quality, but it is acidic. Drink it with rich fare, such as duck, salmon and even pork dishes. — S.H. (5/1/2006)

2003 Stephen's Pinot Noir,
Encell vineyard |
Showcases its terroir in the brisk acidity and light but complex body that wraps bitter cherry and coffee flavors. Bone dry, the wine will be a fine accompaniment to salmon or duck, simply prepared. — S.H. (5/1/2006)

2004 Stephen's Chardonnay
MacBride vineyard |
Earthy and minerally, and very dry, this Chard has a scour of high acidity. It's a lean wine, by the usual fruity standards, but a clean, complex one, rather Chablisian in its way, and might improve with some time in the cellar. — S.H. (5/1/2006)
