description: This big, massively ripe Pinot Noir needs time in the cellar to come around. Right now, it's all jammy cherry, raspberry and cola, accented with spicy, smoky sandalwood. The finish is thoroughly dry, and the tannin-acid balance is classic coastal, suggesting a wine that should develop at least through 2011. It's made from 30-year-old vines planted to the Martini clone.
