Wine Spectator November 2008 - 92 pts
Our First Class is produced only when we have a particular lot of wine that is very, very special, and the 2006 First Class Pinot Noir is such a wine. To start, we look to our favorite vineyard sites for the most balanced, flavorful and concentrated Pinot Noir. We ferment these lots in small fermenters called “pots”. We baby them every step of the way and move the best wine into new French oak barrels for sixteen months of ageing. As the wines develop, we select the best barrels to eventually become “FIRST CLASS” - the best of the best.
The 2006 First Class Pinot Noir is a dark ruby colored wine that exhibits cherry and blackberry aromas with underlying scents of anise, mocha and blueberry. Very ripe tannins and balanced acidity create a rich, velvety texture. The exquisite balance of this wine makes it a very versatile wine with food. Full wine description.
Production: 684 6-pack cases all sealed with screwcap.

Wine & Spirits August 2009 - 93 pts
This wine is a great example of a crisp and bright style of pinot gris. Exhibiting aromas of asian pear, honeydew and citrus blossom, it is overtly fruity yet still complex for this wine variety. The flavors of tangy lime, comice pear and starfruit linger on the exceptionally long finish. A great “warm weather” wine, it goes with simple appetizers and a wide assortment of seafood any time of the year. Full wine description.

Benton-Lane 2007 Pinot Noir Rosé
|
Limited production wine SOLD OUT!
The fruit for this wine was harvested from the oldest pinot noir block in our vineyard. After two days of skin contact to extract the beautiful color evident in this Rosé, we used a technique known as saignee, or bleeding of the juice, from a tank of pinot noir. The juice was then fermented at a very cool temperature to maintain the fresh, vibrant flavors and aromas. The wine was bottled early under screw cap closure to ensure maximum retention of these wonderful flavors and aromas. There is only one word to describe this Rosé….SEXY!!! First, check out the color - just like a bouquet of fresh red rosebuds. This has to be the most beautiful wine ever made. Roll it around in your mouth and feel the silky texture. Full wine description.
Production: 154 cases all sealed with screwcap.
