Ruby in color, the 2008 The Great Walter Pinot Noir gives notes of kirsch and mulberries over nuances of dried leaves, tobacco and stewed tea. Full bodied with plenty of ripe, warmed berry and baking spice flavors, it has a medium level of chewy tannins and enlivening acidity, finishing long. Drink it now through 2014.
