Super ripe raspberries... low acid with just enough tannin in the finish to keep it interesting.

Butter and butterscotch nose...lovely. Nice light on the tongue. Berry banana, little exit. Nice quaffer.

I really like this Pinot. Earthy-Terrific balance of spice, smoke and raspberry - but my balance favors smoke! $16 at Costco... I would pay twice.
