Kudos to winemaker and Carneros veteran Steve Rogstad, this is an amiable wine from a tricky, but largely successful, vintage. Rogstad nails the bay-influenced profile with this silky, slinky, cherry and raspberry-fruited Pinot laced with subtle cinnamon and anise notes. As soft and velvety it is on the tongue, it doesn't lack focus at all, and it paired beautifully with pork tenderloin marinated in a Vietnamese-leaning marinade. Cuvaison has a lovely tasting room that's only a one hour drive from San Francisco - just call in advance for an appointment. Definitely recommended. (92 Points)
