This wine was tasted in double-blind fashion at Vintage Wines, Ltd. The bottle was kindly provided by Doug Harrigan. Medium ruby in color, the nose shows moderately intense raspberry, rose and spice aromas. Medium-bodied on the palate, with medium acidity and light tannins. The oak is a bit overdone, somewhat overshadowing the red fruit flavors. The middle palate is solid and the medium-length finish is smooth. This is a "crowd-pleaser" Pinot, no doubt. Drink now-12/14.

(Cargasacchi Pinot Noir Estate Cargasacchi Vineyard) Light medium cherry red with pale meniscus; allspice and oak nose; more oak than fruit showing on the palate, but some tart red fruit, high acidity; medium finish (50% new oak)

A huge pinot with lots of spice. Begging to be paired with food I drank this on its own. This should last for many years.
