2000 WINDSOR GARDENS PINOT NOIR

Merry Edwards 2000 Windsor Gardens
95 points, Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wines, May 2003
“Right in step with its outstanding precursor from 1999. Moderately full-bodied and impeccably balanced with the fine feel of varietal velvet on the palate, it is every bit as lively as it is rich...”

“Wow! This Pinot shows incredible complexity and depth — everything you’d want in a Pinot is here.”
-PinotReport, October 2002

92 points “pretty similar to the Klopp bottling, with herbal notes suggesting coffee, earth, mushrooms and tobacco, and fruitiness just veering into cherry.”

“the most complete wine that is also finer in flavor and longer on the finish. It has silky texture, excellent balance, and flavors reminiscent of cherry, plum, blueberry, toast, and smoky oak.”
-Restaurant Wine, Issue #92

One of the “Top 100 Wines of 2003”
“Great balance, rich and juicy cherry and blueberry flavors, nutmeg spice and silky tannins. Expensive and worth it.”
-San Francisco Chronicle Magazine, December 7, 2003

“Very highly recommended.”
-California Grapevine, December 2002-January 2003
