This wine delivers tremendous value, hanging in there with California Pinot Noirs priced $10-$20 more. Sumptuous and full-bodied, yet it remains fresh and nervy, with savory black tea, black spice and juicy black cherry aromas and flavors, and a touch of pleasant earthiness. Tight-knit and complete.
