Slightly deep color for Pinot. At first, sweet strawberry and chocolate aromas. Much later, fragrant wood and curry spices. Flavor of bittersweet chocolate with just a touch of smoky bacon. Juicy. Very smooth and friendly. A little bitterness on the finish which has decent length. 14% alcohol but no heat. Good balance. A good, solid Pinot Noir for drinking now.

Very pale blood red. Nice ripe spicy cherry fruit on the nose, with a touch of burnt earth. Quite sweet but well balanced in the mouth. Nice earthiness but slightly drying on the finish. Decent enough. 3

Good Napa Pinot - very fruit forward wine with red cherry flavors. Chewy ripe taste.

Nothing special. I have higher expectations for Carneros Pinots.
