Wow, another outlandish Pinot from MacPhail. These guys know what to do with good fruit?– they just stay out of the way and let it whap you upside the head like your grandma’s frying pan after you cussed.

I’m getting ripe fruit out of this one, with a hint of alcohol in the nose. It’s bigger than the Kosta Browne, and less delicate. It’s a pinot that walks into the room wearing a big pink feather cap and just looks around the room daring anyone to say anything about the hat. It knows it’s the shit and doesn’t give a rat’s ass about much of anything else.

I’m getting ripe black cherry here, with less spice than the ‘03 Kosta Browne Sonoma Coast we sat next to it (but no less excellent) but with the distinctive Russian River terroir, (i.e. cola). It?s a fruit-lover’s pinot: darker in the glass, thicker– actually really thick for a pinot, a lot of bang for a fair amount of buck.
