From the gravel-loam soils of Riva Ranch vineyard in Arroyo Seco, Monterey, this Pinot Noir is made of parcels dating back to 1963. Plush and silken on the palate, with waves of subtle smoke, soft black raspberry, cherry and wild raspberries riding fine, slightly powdery tannis. Quite harmonious and round until a hot and cocoa-dusted finish, this would be best with a fire-grilled pork chop.
