95 points-Pinot Report. A blend of 8 distinct lots, it sports fresh cherry/pomegranate fruit with a liqueur-like concentration, creamy oak, nice balance and lingering ďŹ nish. Easily the best Sonoma Coast yet.
At 14.2% this is the most spry and nimble of these Pinots with Burgundy-like clarity, precision and mineral complexity. As with the’09s, this is my favorite.
95 points-Pinot Report. Beautiful, sexy and poised. The fruit, oak and mineral nuances are in perfect harmony. This is at out delicious and the ďŹ nish seems endless.
94 points-Pinot Report. This is the biggest, darkest, richest and most dense of the group with pretty wood spice and baking spice. What this lacks in ďŹ nesse, it makes up for with dramatic richness.

Art Commission finds friends A mysterious group of benefactors has decided to breathe new life into Menlo Park’s defunct Arts Commission. The “Friends of the Menlo Park Arts Commission� will soon start fundraising to create a foundation to support an arts commission, according to member Jim Lewis. But his colleagues in the endeavor prefer to remain anonymous. “Far too many groups would love to have the names of altruistic, philanthropic individuals with both heart and funds,� Mr. Lewis said. Instead, the group wants to focus on coordinating existing artistic organizations into a council that shares ideas, programs, and perhaps funding to create “a culturally rich environment� for Menlo Park, he said.

Water main break investigated It was a wet wakeup call after a rainy weekend — a water main broke in Sharon Heights around 3 a.m. on Monday, March 19. Located near Monte Rosa Drive and Sharon Park Drive, the busted pipe sent water gushing along the ground for almost three hours. Police and public works crews arrived to take control of the scene and put up barricades, and the water flow was stopped shortly before 6 a.m. Public Works Director Chip Taylor said crews were digging up the pipe later on Monday morning to figure out how it broke.
High school district discussion on achievement gap March 21 The academic achievement gap in the schools and among students in the Sequoia Union High School District is the topic for a three-hour conceptual discussion set for 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 21, at the district’s office at 480 James Ave. in Redwood City. Along with the five members of the district board, Linda Darling Hammond, a Stanford University education professor and a leading thinker on current issues in education, is expected to be there and talk with the board about research on this topic.
The agenda includes reviews of data, programs meant to close the achievement gap and relevant questions going forward, including what to do next. The tentative plan is to have more in-depth studies so as to “inform policy and priorities of the district,� board member Chris Thomsen said in an email. “My own interest is seeing where we can have a system-wide impact, rather than focusing on individual program interventions to address the major challenges of the district.�
