I really like this Pinot Noir. Good thing I have a few more bottles of the 2005 and the 2006. Eric Kent Cellars is a husband and wife team. They have a unique way of supporting local artists. A different painting adorns each wine label.
Wine Spectator Magazine 2007: Winemaker Kent Humphrey purchases Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah grapes from several vineyards in Sonoma County. Each bottling features a contemporary artist's work, and the wines are equally stylish, balancing elegance and power. 94 pts. 250 cases produced.
California Grapevine, June-July 2008. 90 pts. – Medium-light ruby; attractive, elegant, toasty, ripe red cherry fruit aroma; medium-full to full body; plush, supple, bright cherry fruit flavors with a velvety mouthfeel; well-balanced and structured; medium-full tannin; lingering aftertaste. Delicious to taste now though deserving a few more years of bottle aging. Very highly recommended.
The Stiling Vineyard is an old 1500-tree apple orchard in the Russian River valley of Sonoma County turned into a thriving 35-acre vineyard specializing in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
