SPECIAL BEST-OF-YEAR ISSUE
#52
93 Points - Rutz
2000 Maison Grand Cru Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley); $25.
How lush and delicious this wine is! Juicy
and rich in the mouth, meaty and full-bodied and quite acidic, yet the
texture is light as feather. The complex flavors range from blackberry and
cherry through dried herbs to sauteed mushrooms and soy, with a honey-
sweet finish. Sheer delight, textbook Russian River Valley Pinot
Noir.
