From the Far Niente folks in Napa Valley comes this rich, suave Pinot with vivid boysenberry and black raspberry flavors, a creamy vanillin core and a long, bright finish. It has the mouth-filling flavor that so many California Pinot Noir drinkers adore, with velvety tannins to match, yet there is enough structure and acidity to leave it remarkably refreshing.
