description: This big, powerful Pinot Noir needs some time to resolve its contradictions. It's totally dry, with silky tannins and fine coastal acidity, but there's a heavy density to the cherry, orange zest, spice and sandalwood flavors. A classic example of an ageworthy Pinot Noir, it should come into its own by 2013.
