Sequana Sundawg Ridge Vineyard Green Valley Pinot Noir 2007 Rated 97WE

Wine Enthusiast Review
Rated 97
This distinctive Pinot Noir's source is a tiny vineyard in cool Green Valley; the winegrower is James MacPhail, whose own MacPhail Pinot Noirs are so good. The wine itself is totally dry and silky and firm in acidity, yet soft in fine tannins. You might call it noble. It's eruptive in cherries, sweet smoky bacon, raspberry granola and oaky sandalwood. Gorgeous, seductive and brilliant, a truly great Pinot Noir that's impeccable now.

• This medium-bodied, layered wine has soft tannins, bright acidity and a lingering finish.
• Pinot Noir specialist James MacPhail has complete control over the creation of Sequana's single vineyard wines.
