Pinot Paradise 2010 (Technical Seminar on Yeast Influences, and Grand Tasting) (Villa Ragusa, Campbell, California): Medium dark cherry red color; berry, oak, charcoal nose; one-dimensional, ripe cherry, tart cherry palate with structure; medium finish (this is an older yeast that has been used a long time for Pinot, typically employed for tannic structure, fruit intensity, tighter fruit expression, and the ability to reinforce dried cherry flavors; tasted this bottling at yeast technical seminar at Pinot Paradise, and I understand it's been available for tasting at the winery; one of 5 yeasts used in final blend of '07 San Vicente Vineyard Pinot Noir)
