Plenty of rich, forward raspberry and cherry pie filling flavors in this Pinot, which shows a delicate, silky mouthfeel. With crisp acidity and a spicy finish, it's easy to drink now with burgers and grilled salmon.

This is the best of Cru's 2010 Pinot Noirs, and it shows real Santa Lucia complexity. It's a dry wine, with brisk acids and supple tannins. It has a flashy core of cherry, red currant, licorice and smoky, sweet sandalwood flavors. Drink this over the next 2–3 years.

A super-fruity, direct Pinot, rather one-dimensional in cherry, raspberry and mocha flavors. Dry and crisp, with a silky texture, it's a good wine to drink now.
