From cool Green Valley in this cool vintage comes this translucently colored young Pinot Noir. It’s silky and light in the mouth, but enormously complex, with spicy cherry, raspberry, cola, licorice, datenut, fig and soy sauce flavors that are heightened and brightened by crisp acidity. Thoroughly enjoyable now, and should develop for up to six years.——S.H.(6/1/2008)—— 94
