There’s not a lot of Pinot grown in this cool Salinas Valley appellation because most of the grapes are white, but judging from this wine, there should be. It has the medium-bodied, silky texture and crisp acids you want in a fine Pinot, as well as flavorful cherry, cola, raspberry, coffee and spice flavors that lead to a dry, polished aftertaste.——S.H.(2/1/2007)—— 90
