Surprising dark ruby red. Crystal clear, reflective surface with medium colour depth. Pure aroma with good intensity. Typical pinot style but not too much as you can find it today very often in Pinots when the winemaker was over-motivated. Wonderful aromas of dark cherries. Typical for young Pinots. Very, very pleasant. Mild, warm and round with exactly the body needed. Long finish with some dominant fresh acid. This aftertaste acid tone was gone after four hours. Then the wine was nearly perfect. Gives hope for a longer life.
The Carneros Pinot from Robert Sinskey is a wonderful partner for a diner with salmon, not too heavily prepared meat, duck, ham, ... My favourite would be sautéed foods. But if you are looking for a nice glass of wine to drink in a summer evening sitting in the patio refelcting your life... no bad choice. You would be surprised how fast the bottle would be empty.
The wine is still young but very good to drink. I would say that the peak will be in two years to remain for another three or five years.
