The beautiful pale straw color and intense aroma of passionfruit are so inviting with this new vintage. Aromas of nectarines and floral perfume - honeysuckle notes fill the glass.

2007 Pinot Noir

This Pinot Noir greets the taster with rich aromas of blue plum and blackberry fruits, while also offering the complexity of oak spice, floral and earth tones.

In the mouth, a full display of rich berry fruit and silky tannins up front. The intensely bright raspberry-blueberry fruit along with oak tones fill out the mid palate and combined with the velvety tannin texture, leaves you with a viscous raspberry linger.

2007 Succession Cuvee Pinot Noir

This combined family effort between Ray and son Desmond has proven to be their best Pinot Noir to date. This blend was created by selecting only two of the finest French (Châtillon forest) oak barrels from the selection of all their 2006 Pinot Noir in barrels.

The inviting aromas of raspberry and ripe black cherry continue to intensify as they open up along with integrated oak spice and earth tones. The palate offloads an abundance of concentrated red berry fruits that penetrate throughout the palate. As the luscious flavors continue, the elegant tannins interact offering the delicious velvety tone to the finish.

With proper cellaring, this wine can be enjoyed over the next ten years or more.

In the mouth, this wine is sweet, round and yet balanced with its acidity. It offers explosive intensity of rich fruit - apricot, peach and honeysuckle flavors, and a smooth lingering finish.
