It’s all about flavor in this tremendously fruity Pinot, a blend of various vineyards in the appellation. Huge flavors of cherry cola, raspberry, pomegranate, licorice and rhubarb pie with the buttery, baked crust flood the mouth. Only detraction is that there’s not a lot of depth. ——S.H.(12/31/2006)—— 87
