Juicy and fresh, with ripe cherry-scented fruit and echoes of spice in the finish, this well-balanced Pinot Noir is full of exuberant charm. The only drawback is that, like so many California Pinots, it tastes overtly sweet. Of course, many wine drinkers these days love this lush, super-ripe style, so the wine surely will have many admirers, particularly considering its reasonable price tag.
