Cartlidge & Browne. Pinot Noir. 750 ml. Very dark reddish-purple, black at the center, very dense and dark for
a Pinot. Fresh, appealing aromas loft from the glass, ripe black
cherries accented with a dash of subtle spice. Fresh and juicy fruit
flavors fulfill the nose's promise, tart black plums laced up by zippy
acidity. It's not what you'd call "Burgundian," but good forward fruit
and proper acidic balance, in a wine that accurately reflects the
grape's California style, all add up to an exceptional lower-price
Pinot.
