01 Estancia Pinnacles Monterey P.N.

[newsguy]

($9.99; 13.5%) bright red, going toward orange at the rim. nice full nose of sweet cherries, earthy spice and hints of leather and red licorice. silky mouthfeel and a good finish, but the flavors don't live up to the promise of the aromas. tastes of tart cherries and strawberries. might already be on the downslope. drink now. 82 points.
