Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 91 points

The 2007 Pinot Noir Canary Hill Vineyard was sourced from vines planted in 1983. Darker in color than the Abbott Claim, it has more grip, darker fruit including black cherry and plum, and more volume on the palate. Smooth textured, spicy, and nicely integrated, it should evolve for 1-2 years and provide prime drinking from 2011 to 2019.
