Third Quarter 2006
“The stars in the 50+ producers that follow include Arcadian, Au Bon Climat, Copain, Hirsch, Radio-Coteau, Rhys/Alesia, Rivers-Marie and Whitcraft, and several other wineries… such as Scherrer Winery, The Ojai Vineyard and Talley Vineyards. … Interestingly, Eric Sussman reports that all his 2004 pinots were left on their primary lees for a full 16 months with no acidification or enzyme additions for clarification and no racking at all, then were bottled unfined and unfiltered. As the scores and commentaries suggest, the results are more than interesting as well!”
