Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 91 points

Bursting with candied black cherry aromas, the medium-bodied, wonderfully expressive 2003 Pinot Noir McCrone Vineyard is a wine of considerable density of fruit. On the palate, it exhibits waves of syrupy dark cherries, cassis liqueur, and candied raspberries whose flavors linger in its prolonged finish. Drink this sensual effort over the next 5-6 years. www.kenwrightcellars.com; tel. (800) 571-6825
