A good (not great) Pinot Noir that is fairly priced, as PNs go. Features some bright, crisp Pinot fruit and good balance.
Eye: Medium dark ruby with purply highlights.
Nose: Bright, tart fruity nose of crisp cherries, crushed rock powder, and rhubarb.
Mouth: Tart cherry and stony mineral/graphite flavors. Very tightly-wound, but with decent concentration and length. The texture is quite light.
Score: 87.
Cellar or drink? I would cellar this one for 1 - 3 years, and it will likely soften and gain a little complexity.
Price/store: Was $21 and change at Spec's on Smith.
