Bright red. Spicy red berries and cherry on the nose, with a light touch of cracked pepper. Dusty and firm, with dried red berry flavors, silky tannins and a dry finish. Not bad.

Nice fruit and some juicy bounce are the hallmarks of this pleasant, stylish Pinot Noir. The nose has bright plum and raspberry, but the aromas and flavors are controlled and wholesome, not funky or stretched thin. With a pinch of oak, this wine more than makes the grade.

Winemaker's Notes:

I have always taken pride in offering good, serious (well a little serious anyway) wine for a reasonable price. The 2008 Tobiano is definitely a little serious, with loads of ripe raspberry, strawberry and cherry pie flavors and aromas as well as the usual “gout de Casablanca,” which I often call a savory or mineral or smoky note. It is this savory note that I think lends a little seriousness to the wine, and separates it from the more straightforwardly fruity Pinot Noirs that I work with here at home in California. It is a fairly big wine, and like all the Kingston reds, it will benefit from a little air. But I would say that it is more a wine for enjoying now, while it is youthful and fresh, than it is for laying down. ¡Salud!
