    This Pinot is made in a lighter style, but it's complex and interesting. It's marked by dryness and acidic crispness. The raspberry, cola and persimmon flavors are enriched with a touch of sweet, smoky oak. Seems best now, but it could surprise over the next six years.

    Here's a pretty, polished Pinot for drinking now with a nice steak. It's dry and silky, with good varietal flavors of cherries, cola, rhubarb, grilled mushrooms and smoky oak, finished with dusty spices. There's even a touch of barnyard.
