Fess Parker Pinot Noir= no tart cherry, yes gardenia

The title of this post says it all. The Fess Parker 2007 Pinot Noir (a housewarming gift from "Shnick") was everything I love in a pinot, and nothing I hate (tart cherry). It was light-bodied, with a very smooth texture. The "bouquet" was a bouquet of gardenias, night jasmine, and orange blossom (it smelled wonderful!) lead to flavors of rich plum and boysenberry, with a succinct finish. 94 points!
