Tasting Note: Cherry, raspberry and herbs on the nose. Palate shows a noticeable hit of vanilla oak. Good fruit in the shadow of the oak and nice textured mouth-feel, but perhaps somewhat simplistic as well as pulling up short on the back-palate.
Some acid structure and may develop some additional complexity with bottle age but is probably best drunk over the next couple of years while the fruit remains fresh.
Verdict: Too much other good Pinot out there at and under this pricepoint. 87 Points – Drink: Now – 2007
