Samsara Ampelos Vineyard Pinot Noir Sta Rita Hills - 2006 (750ml) Encruzado Proprietor Patrick Maroteaux91+ points Vinous Media Vivid ruby red. Exotic, strongly perfumed bouquet of raspberry, sandalwood, cinnamon and iodine; this smells wild. Juicy and deeply concentrated, with sweet red and dark berry flavors, fully enveloped tannins and good mineral bite. Shut down with air, but there's clearly an excellent wine in the making here.
