From a new winery, this Pinot shows the classic structure of the 2005 vintage. It’s harmonious in the balance of a silky texture, crisp, coastal acidity, and smooth, voluptuous mouthfeel. But best of all are the flavors, a complex mélange of cherries, red currants, licorice, cola, cloves, pepper and smoky oak. Best now for its youthful vigor.

Textbook Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot, big and bold, yet with great textural balance and complexity. Strikes the palate with concentrated cherry, red currant, licorice, orange zest, root beer, clove, cinnamon and pepper flavors that are totally dry, with a full-bodied weight.

Delicious in raspberry and cherry jam flavors, with an elaborate coat of sweet, smoky, caramelized oak. Good acidity and smooth tannins make for fine structure. Could be drier and more complex, but it’s a hedonistic Pinot Noir with lots of flash.

Pinot Noir doesn’t get much riper in fruit than this. It detonates on the palate with a blast of raspberries and red cherries that taste like they were baked into a pie. Oak adds the usual rich notes of vanilla and caramel cream. Not particularly subtle, but decadent and delicious.
