Pale to medium ruby colored, the 2009 Pinot Noir displays moderate to intense aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and cooked beets with a whiff of cassia. Crisp, medium bodied with a low level of grainy tannins, it has a long if simple finish. Drink it now through 2013. Importer: Allan Scott Wines USA, Huntsville, AL; tel. (256) 534-6758.
