Pop and pour. A breathtaking murky medium ruby red color. On the nose: very expressive nose of stewed sweet strawberries, musky forest floor, cedar, touch of tobacco, clove. Taste: smooth, silky, juicy wine with a touch of tart cherry, and faint notes of minerals, pepper, earth, orange peel and a medium finish. Nothing great, but not bad at this age for a maligned vintage.

Big but complex, not clunky, Pinot. Schrader rules in Rivers Brown's hands.
