This is really quite an appealing yet entirely serious effort that should reward 3 to 6 years of cellar time.

- This medium-ruby colored Pinot Noir exhibits sweet ripe aromas of black cherries and currants with some hints of savory Asian spices. On the palate, the wine echoes the same dark fruit flavors with hints of cola berry and pekoe tea leaves. The youthful tannins provide some grip that will surely soften in the short term.
