2006 Landmark Pinot Noir Grand Detour
The 2006 Pinot Noir Grand Detour exhibits a dark ruby color as well as a foresty, black cherry, and meaty-scented, Cote de Nuits-like nose. Spicy, round, and generously endowed with a velvety texture, this is a seductive style of Pinot to enjoy over the next 3-4 years.
The always reliable Landmark vinory continues to turn out a bevy of Burgundian-styled Pinot Noirs and impressive sauvignon blancs. One of the best sauvignon blanc values in the marketplace is their Overlook.

| nwbackpacker. Drank too long ago to remember this vino. I don’t remember being wowed by it, and I didn’t hate it either. I can only assume it was pretty drinkable. If I see some on sale for $10 I’ll probably pick up a bottle or two. I think I prefer K’s regular offerings, but will continue to try this range on every release because I’m always on the lookout for good <$15 vino. - Tasted 6/1/2009. |

| nzinkgraf. bright fruit all over the nose. cranberry and lacks fruit raspberry. a little oak to lift that up. so alive on the palate. obvious bitter touch vs. the Conterno Barbera. Wonderful lingering spice on the finish. - Tasted 6/24/2009. |

| Keith Levenberg. Much deeper and showing more of the benefit of bottle age than the last half-bottle I had from the same stash. Rich and succulent with juicy dried apricots, pure Sauternes goodness. (93 pts.) - Tasted 6/30/2009. |
