The 2007 Cupids Arrow Pinot Noir is a fine, entry-level Pinot Noir from Wild Rock. Jammy, red-berried fruits on the nose, the palate soft and plush, low acidity, fleshy and supple with a clean, slightly hot finish. You will finish a bottle too quickly and maybe forget it the next day. Drink now. No known American importer.

Wild Rock is an offshoot of Craggy Range that is producing some excellent values. The 2007 Cupids Arrow Pinot Noir features bright cherry flavors tinged with wintergreen, a supple texture and a persistent finish. It’s not that complex, but offers a silky mouthful of Pinot that would be perfect alongside salmon.——J.C.(11/1/2009)—— 90
