The 2014 Sonoma County Pinot Noir ($18.99) is heady with notes of black cherries baked in a sweet cinnamon crust. Hints of rose petals add to the allure. The wine is soft on the entry with flavors of red raspberries laced with hints of lavender, spice and oak. On the one hand this wine is big, ripe and rich.
