There’s an aroma leading into this Pinot that seems bretty and leathery. In the mouth, it turns dry and complex, with a silky texture framing complex cherry, cola, pomegranate and rhubarb flavors that testify to its cool-climate origins. The finish is dry and balanced. Best to decant for a few hours to let the off aromas blow away. ——S.H.(2/1/2007)—— 90
