($35): A blend from 15 different vineyards scattered throughout Carneros, this is a classic expression of Pinot Noir from that region.  It’s a balanced mixture of pure–but not sweet–red fruit flavors with hints of spice and earthy, savory notes.  Mild, supple tannins allow for immediate enjoyment.  It’s a gorgeous example of the delicacy and multi-faceted character of Pinot Noir that’s easy to recommend. 91 Michael Apstein Dec 16, 2008
