Kanzler Pinot Noir 2006 750ml $53.99 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir "The previous vintage from Kanzler Vineyards, the 2005 Kanzler Pinot Noir was one of my favorites of the year, silky, rich-textured forest-floor with subtle notes of sweet oak and an intensely long complex finish. Our very small allocation of 2006 has not afforded me a taste though I suspect it will also be spectacular given the other Sonoma Coast pinot noirs I have tasted from 2006.

Chewy and fleshy, it is ideal for drinking now and over the next 10-12 years." © The Wine Advocate eRobertParker.com "Decant a minimum of one hour. An excellent pairing for a twenty-one day dry aged new york steak or loin of venison." - John Haggard, Sophie's Cellars
