  Ruby in color with medium intensity and a wide reddish rim.
  
  Fruity nose with bing cherries, red currants, light wood, spices, light earth, herbs and dark coffee.
  
  Medium bodied and soft with medium acidity.
  
  Dry on the palate with cherries, sweet raspberries, plums, earth, spices, light wood, tobacco leaf, peppercorn and herbs.
  
  Nice length on the finish with soft tannins and red chili pepper.
  
  This is a very enjoyable Pinot Noir from Edna Valley in California. Fruit forward and nicely balanced with an elegant mouth feel.
  
  Gentle and very tasty. Soft, smooth and spicy. Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine.
  
  This three-year-old is showing good potential, and will age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years. Showing nice complexity already.
  
  As it opens up, soft tannins come in and give it good structure.
  
  Grapes come from a Single Vineyard and were aged in French Oak barrels for 9 months (19% new).
  
  I paired it with a cheese plate.
  
  13.4% alcohol by volume.
  
  91 points.
  
  $70.

  Very nice mid weight type Pinot. Darker than a lot of pinots, especially the RR valley and Sonoma coast types. Nice tart cherry and raspberry on the palate, very well balanced and good finish.
