Tasting Notes
FineWine International
Less then 200 cases were produced in the 1999 vintage. We have tasted this wine a number of times over the past year and have been impressed with its evolution. Like the best Floodgate vintages of the past this wine reminds us of a very good vintage Lafon Volnay. There are lovely fruit aromatics intertwined with subtle spice and smokey leather notes. On the palate the flavors are of red fruits, cherries and raspberries principally, mixed with spice and a subtle hints of anise and cardamon. This is a bigger wine than the 1998 Floodgate and should age beautifully over the next 4-6 years, perhaps longer. As always, very impressive and one of our favorite California Pinots.

Like a kiss and a kick in one bottle. The light color belies the wine's complexity and power (14.8 percent alcohol), so give it time to open up. Delicate strawberry and herbal notes are backed up by black pepper, spicy oak and a long, intense finish. LESLIE SBROCCO
