Sharp acidity makes this young wine a bit tart now. It has solid flavors of cherries, raspberries, bacon and smoky sandalwood, and is dry and silky. Decant for a few hours, or better yet, give it a year or two in the cellar.

Delicious and complex now, offering upfront waves of raspberry tart, cherry pie with the crust, vanilla, toast, cinnamon and cocoa flavors. The acidity is just fine. A bit keen and juvenile, but could develop bottle nuance in a year or two.

This Pinot will divide people into opposite camps. Some will find it soft, sweet, heavy and simple. Others will love the luscious red currant, licorice, raspberry and bacon flavors, with their spicy finish. Drink now.
