| 2000 | Burrowing Owl | Pinot Noir | | 25 | 3 | 87 Gismondi |
| website: This big, full flavoured wine displays the best of Pinot Noir characteristics - full body and rich flavours combined with smoothness and elegance. A deep, complex bouquet marries ripe berry aromas with toasty oak to produce nuances of cherry, raspberry, cola, mahogany, leather and chocolate which are echoed on the palate ornamenting the deep chocolate cherry flavours. Its rich intensity is made elegant by velvety tannins and smooth mouthfeel. An outstanding Pinot Noir. |

| "A star of the vintage, this classy, cedary, black currant, and sweet cherry-scented, dense ruby-colored Las Cases exhibits a beautiful dosage of new oak, medium body, expansive, ripe, concentrated flavors, plenty of glycerin, and exceptional purity. It is low in acidity, and already delicious. Anticipated maturity: now-2016." 90, Wine Advocate |
