Wine Review: This light ruby colored Pinot opens with a light raspberry like bouquet with a hint of spice. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, and soft. It was very easy to drink with its spicy raspberry flavors. The finish is dry and tingly with some oak notes that linger for a bit. I thought this wine would pair nicely with smoked salmon. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: "Los Carneros Pinot is a subtly complex masterpiece. The 2007 offers brooding, earthy aromas of dark cherry and forest floor, with a touch of spice. Flavors continue with ripe, black plum, hints of coffee and cocoa surrounded by a soft, velvety texture that ends in a fleshy, long finish." - Melissa Stackhouse, Winemaker
