Wine Enthusiast Review
Rated 93
Bright bing cherry, and sarsaparilla aromas waft from the glass of this generous Pinot. Flavors of candied raspberry, lavender, toasted hazelnut and a streak of tangerine acidity mingle on the broad and expansive palate. A few years in the cellar will soften this up nicely.
