Sweet and surprisingly seductive for a wine of its tender years, this lively, eminently fruity young Pinot steps up and delivers lots of right-now appeal. It might justly be criticized as being a little too frontal, but no one will find fault with its generous, sweet-cherry fruit, and it will make for friendly drinking over the next couple of years while its ambitious, more highly-priced cousins slowly evolve in the cellar.
