Review of the 2005 Carter Vineyard
Hillblock Pinot Noir

The Wine Spectator: 90 Points

"Smooth and focused, with a minty edge to the dark berry and green olive flavors.  A distinctive style of Pinot Noir, with power and enough harmony to bring it together nicely.  Best from 2009 through 2013."

92 Points."The second vintage from this lontime supplier to Ken Wright and Domaine Serene is a winner - supple and elegant, rich enough in texture to give the cherry, white pepper, mineral and rose petal aromas and flavors some scope, yet balanced and harmonious through the long, refined finish. Wright made the wine. Drink now through 2012.  --H.S."

"On the earthy side, but it's a real mouthful of personality, offering green olive-tinged blackberry and currant flavors on a firm, chewy frame. The tannins are well integrated right through the long finish."
