B Vineyards and Habitat Russian River Pinot Noir, 2007

I have had several good Pinots from B Vineyards and Habitat. This 2007 Sera  is from a special Green Valley vineyard named for the owners' daughter, and it fully meets the standards of what the winery calls a "proprietor's select wine."

Light Pinot color. Translucent. Spicy, floral nose. Cinnamon, cloves, violets. Pretty and inviting. Flavors of cranherry, raspberry, orange zest and pepper. Light and elegant on the palate with a silky texture. Still well balanced. Red raspberries on the long finish. I like this wine.
