Sweet, soft and plush, this Pinot Noir’s flavors seems to bulge with like pregnant berries. The aromas are enticing, but I found the overgenerous fruit not quite as delicious as I’d hoped. The wine’s structure isn’t completely pulled together, and a more compelling finish would improve the overall impression here.
