Score 92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2007

Slightly cloudy medium red. Musky aromas of wild strawberry, cranberry, blood orange and mace; reminded me of Chambolle-Musigny. Juicy, spicy and minerally, with a firm edge of cool-climate acidity framing the redcurrant, pomegranate and blood orange flavors. Still a bit youthfully tight but this boasts terrific energy. At 14.2% alcohol, this is the highest of this set of 2005 pinots.

Score 90/100 · Drink 2006-2014, Robert Parker, Dec 2006

The outstanding 2005 Pinot Noir Keefer Ranch reveals earthy, stemmy spiciness as if it’s mimicking a Burgundy premier cru from the northern Cote de Nuits. It has an earthy richness with more spice and less fruit, medium to full body, moderate tannin, and fine balance. Drink this impressively endowed Pinot over the next 7-8 years. Previously recommended: 2004 Chardonnay Estate (92), 2004 Chardonnay Keefer Ranch (91), 2004 Pinot Noir Hirsch Vineyard (92), 2004 Pinot Noir Keefer Ranch (90), 2004 Syrah Estate (93), 2004 Syrah Phoenix Ranch (91), 2004 Viognier (90).
