    Globe-trotting Laely Heron's take on roughly 16-year-old vines in Monterey reveals aromas of Coca Cola, black cherry, ripe plum, sweet beet juice and a bit of tree bark. The palate is powered by anise-spiced cherries and pomegranate, fairly straightforward but quite quaffable.

    Dry and tart in acidity, this Pinot shows the variety's silky texture and gentle tannins. The flavors veer toward cranberries and sour cherry candy.
