A real knock-out Pinot Noir in 2005 is the Blue Slide Ridge. This is always the most Richebourg-like of the wines, with a classic floral, herbal, blueberry nose intermixed with crushed rocks, a deep ruby/purple-tinged color, full body, wonderful sweetness, and moderate tannin in the finish. Unfortunately, there are only 175 cases. Kudos to the Martinelli family, one of the great old winemaking families of Northern California. (They also produce exquisite apples as well.) Not yet released.
