Saracina Pinot Noir 2009
Notes of sweet Bing cherry, raspberry, spring flowers and a mineral component make for a compelling, ultra-perfumed nose. The palate shows modesty and balance, with medium body, ripe supple tannins and great length. This wine is no heavy weight; rather, it possesses the subtly, nuance, grace and nerve of a superb ballet dancer. It is a tribute to the balance, complexity and sophistication of wines coming from a vineyard that is more Burgundian than New World and from an appellation that is recognized as one of the best in the world for Pinot Noir.

Saracina Syrah Rodgers Creek Vineyard 2007
Black garnet in color, this stunning wine offers a nose of white pepper, black olive, garrigue and black fruits. The palate is equally impressive, with ripe black currant and plum flavors, game and a smoky inner mouth perfume. It is a true expression of extended California ripeness, in a very cool-climate site, with more than a suggestion of Northern Rhone. This wine can be enjoyed now or cellared for 5 to 10 years.
