title: Carmel Road 2011 Panorama Vineyard Pinot Noir (Arroyo Seco)
description: The most promising Pinots from this central Monterey County appellation, and this is definitely one of them, continue to show its promise. This is one of the few that goes beyond simple fruit and acidity into complexity. It's not an ager, but the raspberries and cherries, accented with acidity and oak, make it a fine partner now for steak, lamb, tuna or an elaborate mushroom risotto.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Panorama Vineyard
