Scribe, Carneros Pinot Noir, Sonoma Valley

In color, light ruby and clear - thin skinned and filtered and clarified. On the nose, ripe red fruit, mascerated strawberry, candied cherry, stewed pomegranate, cola nut, decaying forrest floor - that p-funk! Well balanced on the palate: high activity, low tannin, light bodied, medium alcohol, medium-plus complexity. Flavors of ripe red cherries, ripe raspberry, blood orange, cola nut, sasparilla root, hint of rose, hint of baking spices like clove and vanilla. Very young and vibrant but I respect the …

Meh, another 'secret' wine disappointment.

Took a long time to open up but then was a very good strong pinot

Bad for the price

I had this Pinot in San Francisco and was amazed at he depth and body of this wine. This is the firs califronia Pinot I tasted that could stand up to some high dollar burgundies. This wine is rich and has depthwith good fruit.

Not as fruit forward as most carneros pinots, but definitely has fruit at the forefront. Nice acidity though and not too much oak. Well balanced.
