    This is a rich, plump young Pinot Noir. It's medium-bodied and velvety, with plum, black cherry, bacon and Indian spice flavors, and with a lovely coat of sweet, smoky sandalwood. The tannin-acid balance suggests 5–7 years in the cellar, although it's fine now with a decant.

    This Pinot, one of a few that hail from Carmel Valley, combines instant drinkability with a certain complexity. The wine is softly approachable in ripe raspberry purée, cherry pie filling, cola and anise flavors, wrapped into a delightfully silky texture. Drink now.
