Yum. More like burgundy than ca. Soft, slight cinnamon and nuanced.

Pinot from Carneros comes in thin, with diminished fruit and over-oaked compared with Willamette Valley Pinot. This one is no exception. “Napa” and “Pinot Noir” shouldn’t exist on the same label.

Great nose of smoke and spicy cherry with transfers to the palate but just too light for me, thin, no body.

This is a nice bright Pinot, with a nose of red cherries and tea leaves. A light bodied Pinot with flavors of cherry, this has decent tannins. Very, very young. It's nice but nothing I would seek out.

Another good Pinot for the value ($35 or less). Wonderful nose of cracked black pepper and tea leaves. Relatively light, but smooth finish. Elegant wine, which is exactly what it's trying to be
