Wide, bread-flour aromas on the nose; behaves and weighs as a Pinot does, but with a completely different flavor profile. Focused black cherry fruit on the palate takes on a powdery texture that reminds this reviewer of Sweet Tarts. Just the right size and character to pair with dinner; its dominant black-cherry fruit would work well with game sauced in fruit-and-wine reduction. ——D.T.(2/1/2004)—— 88
