Medium Ruby color with juicy red fruit aromas. On the palate raspberry and cherry flavors adding a touch of toasty oak with spice. This medium-bodied Pinot has lively acidity and smooth tannins that bring this wine to a lingering finish.

Good Pinot. It had light flavors at first, smelled of strawberry, raspberry, developed more flavor as it opened.

Domaine Carneros produces a very delicious Pinot Noir, and this is another one of their classics. Light ruby color, strong notes of cherry and black berry. No decanting, but improved with aerating in the glass. Delicious bottle.
