If you’re more a fan of red-fruit-focused Pinots than black-fruit blockbusters, there’s a lot to admire in this wine. It has aromas of red fruit and raspberries, along with flavors of sweet red berries and raspberry candy. I’d like just a touch more acidity in this wine, but it’s lovely nonetheless.
Talbott, Santa Lucia Highlands (Monterey County, California) Pinot Noir 2008
