This is a 2005 vintage Pinot; released quite young. The wine is still knitting itself together, still showing very youthful flavors. The fruit runs to light red berries with some cherry tomato tartness; the 13 months in French oak, just a third of it new, adds smooth vanilla and light chocolate to the finish. Another six or 12 months should pull this together.——P.G.(2/1/2007)—— 87
