Light red cherry, marjoram and allspice aromas mark this bottling from a winery in the Central Valley that has sourced fruit from coastal regions for many years. The flavors are even more interesting, as cherry is enhanced by bay leaf, thyme, peppercorns and Indian spices.

Ripe, flashy raspberry, cherry and red currant flavors abound in this silky Pinot Noir. It has oak-driven notes of buttered toast and wood spice, and while it's not especially complex, and it's not likely to age, it does offer immediate pleasure.
