Lots of ripe, spicy fruit in this Pinot, marked by waves of black cherries, Dr. Pepper cola, plums, tobacco and sandalwood. It’s brisk in acidity, a wine that gets the tastebuds whistling. Seems at its best now, so drink up.

Fruit fans will exult in this jammy Pinot Noir. It floods the mouth with raspberries, cherries and cola, with an elaborate coating of sweet, smoky sandalwood. The richness is balanced with fine acidity. Best now and over the next year or so.

A little rugged around the edges, with jagged tannins that emphasize the acidity. But it’s dry and balanced, and you’ll find ripe flavors of cherries, pomegranates, red licorice and toast. Drink now.

A likeable Pinot for its silky mouthfeel, but a bit too fruity, with jammy raspberry, orange and oak richness, and the supporting structure of acidity and tannins just isn’t there.
