Good bright, dark red. Spicy, downright ethereal nose offers perfumed raspberry, lavender and orange peel.Dense, sappy and chewy with extract; the intense red raspberry and floral flavors are at once taut and rich, thanks to a near-perfect sugar/acid balance. Tactile and light on its feet. Finishes very suave and long. Very classy California pinot, and at a moderate 13.8% alcohol.

Rating for United States-California: 90 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: young, aging quickly, could be good now<br/>
