"This is Marimar’s reserve-style Pinot. The ’04, like the ’03, shows authoritative structure in the fine tannins and acids that frame wonderfully ripe fruit. It’s a complex, grippy young wine, elaborately gorgeous in blackberry pie, cherry tart, blueberry, cola and vanilla spice flavors, with an earthy undertow of balsamic-dashed heirloom tomato. Great now and through 2007 for its youthful beauty. — S.H. (12/31/2006)
