For people of a certain age, the aroma of this value-priced Pinot Noir may be reminiscent of Delaware Punch. A surprisingly complex wine from one of California’s venerable Pinot Noir growing regions, it offers up a basketful of berries, a squeeze of citrus and a sachet of herbs. With time in the glass, cumin, rhubarb and dark cherry notes emerge, and the wine exhibits a chalky grip. All in all, it’s a lot of wine for the money.
