With an elegant and dense structure, this Pinot is the picture of generosity. There are plumes of plum, blackcurrant and sour cherry. Supple edges and a palate-cleansing lift conclude with rugged notes of oak and a touch of crushed rocks and black tea
A remarkable deal for a California Pinot, this new wine has abundant berry fruit but stays light on its feet at the same time — possibly due to the unusual addition of small amounts of Sangiovese and Chardonnay (yes, that’s right) to the blend. – Ray Isle
