Brewer-Clifton, Pinot Noir, Ashley's, Santa Rita Hills 2005

Light red.

Bright cherry and earth/stem spice aromatics. Slight jalapeno, but nicely integrated.

Round, sweet, mouthfilling entry that nevertheless manages to be framed gently, on all sides, by good acidity and mild tannin. Alcohol is a bit elevated, but doesn't dam up flavor flow. Ethereal.
