This Pinot Noir 2008 features delicate notes of anise, cardamom and gingerbread spices. The ripe raspberries lift from the glass and mingle with tempting aromas of strawberry-rhubarb tarts and colas. The finish lingers with attractive and toasty undertones. This Pinot Noir is great with barbecued legs of lambs or braised pork tenderloins.
