Tons of flavor in this Pinot. Dazzles with waves of cherries, rhubarb, pomegranate, cola, currants and licorice, accented with swanky oak. The texture is firm and silky, the finish thoroughly dry. A real beauty that should develop complexity for a decade. The grapes are from Santa Rita Hills, so why doesn’t the label say so? ——S.H.(12/1/2010)—— 92
