The 2008 Pinot Noir Hometown is an attractive, entry-level Pinot laced with sweet berries, crushed flowers and spices. The aromas and flavors are nicely woven together in a pretty, delicate fabric. The Hometown finishes with excellent length and fine overall balance. It is one of the simpler wines in the line-up, but at the same time, one of the most harmonious bottles I tasted from the estate, not to mention an excellent value. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2016.
