From a new winery, this Pinot shows the classic structure of the 2005 vintage. It’s harmonious in the balance of a silky texture, crisp, coastal acidity, and smooth, voluptuous mouthfeel. But best of all are the flavors, a complex melange of cherries, red currants, licorice, cola, cloves, pepper and smoky oak. Best now for its youthful vigor.——S.H.(10/1/2008)—— 92
