Red plum, cherry and violet are integrated with hints of vanilla, sweet tobacco, and smoke. The bright red fruit flavors are enhanced by accents of vanilla, clove and toasty oak on the long and rich finish. This wine is an excellent accompaniment to salmon, as well as pork and duck. Wine Enthusiast Made in a lighter, more accessible and candied style, this Pinot has pleasant cherry, raspberry, cinnamon sugar and sandalwood flavors. Easy to find, with 5,000 cases produced. Score: 87. —Steve Heimoff, February 01, 2011.
