This wine is a rare find, a good value in the world of Pinot Noir. Tightly packed fruit vies for aromatic supremacy with coconut notes while the palate is dense and full-bodied, with good depth of flavor. The medium finish is mostly plum pudding but flirts with a touch of jam. Drink now to one year. Would pair well with roasted lamb.——W.E.(12/31/2009)—— 86
