La Crema, Arroyo Seco (Monterey, California) Pinot Noir Panorama Vineyard 2014

($40):  Another fruit-focused Pinot Noir with good weight and a suave texture.  Not overdone in the “Pinot Syrah” mode, it finishes a touch sweet, which I suspect is due in part to its 14.5% stated alcohol.  Ready to drink now.  I’d be sure to served it ever so slightly chilled to minimize the effect of the alcohol.
