"The 2006 Pinot Noir Duende Goldcoast Vineyard, from 20-year-old vines planted with the California heritage clone of Martini, is medium to dark ruby, and displays beautiful sweet currants and black cherries with a hint of forest floor. The seamless integration of acidity, wood, and alcohol results in a lush, seductive, medium to full-bodied Pinot Noir . . . . This tiny artisinal producer continues to show a brilliant touch with his Pinot Noirs, and of course his Syrahs, which were reviewed in an earlier issue of The Wine Advocate. Everything is fully destemmed, the sorting process is draconian, and the wines are given a cold soak and then fermented naturally and bottled with neither fining nor filtration."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
