This is a big Pinot Noir, dark and full bodied and juicy in pomegranates, cherries, red plums and sauteed wild mushrooms, and the interplay of oak with fruit even yields richer notes of milk chocolate. It’s devastatingly good, but also too young and fresh now to show its best. With its fine tannins and exquisite balance, this articulate young wine should be best after 2013. ——S.H.(3/1/2011)—— 96
