An inner pessimist whispers from my shoulder everytime I open a bottle of WS pinot. You won't like this as much as you liked the last one. I make a fool of myself every time and of course, fawn all over this decadent wine. Though I tend to favor the Sonoma Coast sites, the Allen offers plenty to like folded into a pillowy bosom of warm pie fruits, sassafras, and spice. As always, a complete pleasure to drink.
