2006 Rio Vista and Echezeaux, head to head

2006 Brewer-Clifton, Rio Vista, Sta Rita Hills Pinit Noir;

Ruby with pink rim. Intence of fresh strawberries, some leather, not too complex, but very fruit driven. Lots of fruit, some oak behind, spicy notes, mint and pepper, then vanilla, quite elegant, good length. You feel some alcohol, but it hides it well, it's 15,4. 86

2006 Daniel Rion, Echezeaux;

Ruby with pink rim. Very elegant, fresh strawberries, hints of leather, some oak, but this pure strawberry just shines through. High acidity, very fresh, some barrel tannins, good fruit, pure youth, fruity intencity, needs many years. 90
