big, rich and heavy in its youth, this pinot has a rhône-like feeling; its cherry and currant flavors suggest grenache. yet for that style, it's a good wine, showing cherry, currant and pine cone flavors that lend interest. a smoky grilled steak or pork will negociate its tannins, but you might want to age it for up to eight years.
