The 2011 Pinot Noir Ashley’s is a beautifully ripe, textured and elegant effort that delivers ripe cherry fruit, spice and underbrush aromas and flavors to go with a medium to full-bodied, rounded and supple mouthfeel that carries solid precision and focus. It falls off slightly on the finish, yet is a delicious, upfront Pinot to enjoy over the coming 4-5 years. Drink now-2018. These solid efforts are made by Blair Fox (of Blair Fox wines) and represent high quality at solid prices. Tel. (800) 841-1104; www.fessparkerwines.com
