The Jarman Pinot Noir 2013 is medium dark in the glass with a rosy brick-colored shade along the edge. Aromas of tart, dark berries and coffee come up immediately. The nose is anything but shy. On the palate, tartness and a coffee note also play large, with a mild acidity and gentle tannic structure. It’s a big wine - not as elegant or as subtle as I want a Pinot Noir to be, but in California it seldom is.

Deeper rich tones unlike traditional Pinot. Enjoyable.
