A delightful Pinot, made in a ready-to-drink way, yet with enough depth and complexity to age. Flatters the palate with its silky texture and melange of cherry, currant, cola, spice, orange tea, sandalwood and smoke flavors that are brightened and uplifted by crisp acidity. Should develop through 2012. ——S.H.(12/1/2008)—— 91
