($46):  There’s plenty going on in the broad-shouldered Pinot Noir.  Savory leafy elements and spice complement and offset the ripe black fruit notes.  Suave supple tannins lend support without being intrusive.  A touch of heat in the finish — from the 14.2 percent stated alcohol — perturbs this otherwise nicely balanced wine.
