I have rarely encountered such a spicy nose filled with za'atar-like spices ranging from dried sumac and cumin to marjoram and sesame seeds. If all of that isn't enough for you, the wine's sandalwood and blackberry aromas are also pretty nifty. Bright cherry and lemon flavors flanked by crispy acidity bring it all home.

This pinot is compact and sleek when first poured, the caramel and tobacco aromas forming a frame around spiced red cherry. As it opens, a cool savor comes through in the firm, earthy tannins. For a lean cut of steak.

Aromas of crushed sage, baked lemon and a hint of lavender. Medium-bodied with steady and driving acidity that pulls out the citrus and herbs are articulates them clearly. Fresh. Chalky texture with a bit of chew at the finish. Bottle age will bring it together. Drink or hold.
