Parker Review:
The outstanding 2005 Pinot Noir Temblor exhibits more depth and richness than the regular bottling, along with complex notes of underbrush, forest floor, flowers, sweet red currants, plums, and a hint of blacker fruits. Mediumbodied with silky tannins and decent acidity, it should drink well for 5 to 6 years. 90 points
Tanzer Review:
from a windy part of the estate vineyard, on cobbly clay soil) Good full medium red. Raspberry and leather aromas are lifted by an enticing floral element. Sweet, supple and finegrained, with firm acids enlivening the raspberry and floral flavors. Finishes with very good spine and length. This vintage has a better balance, a lower pH and a more vibrant character than 2006, notes winemaker Jon Priest.
