This admirably delicate, lacy Pinot shows lots of persistent flavor despite its relatively light color and body. Notes of sweet strawberry and fresh red cherry lead the way, with sexy vanillin notes adding complexity before a little spice kicks in at the end of the finish. Platinum award winner at the San Diego International Wine Competition.
