A fresh, crisp, clean young Pinot Noir that shows the silkiness and relative transparency of many Carneros Pinots. It’s a bit thin, compared to more full-bodied versions, but elegant and dry, with flavors of cherryskins, cola and sandalwood. Now–2012.

Good, if a bit heavy and dull. Tastes like an older wine, with soft cherry, cocoa, licorice, spice and dried fruit flavors. Drink now.

Nearly all the cherry fruit of this five-year-old Pinot Noir is gone, leaving behind acidity and alcohol, in addition to the oak. It’s bone dry.
