The medium deep ruby-hued 2007 Pinot Noir The Aphorist Bartolomei Vineyard exhibits plenty of spice and berry fruit, moderate body, but not the complexity of the Heaven and Earth. It also tails off somewhat on the palate. Tel. (213) 229-2800; Fax (213) 623-0202; www.redcarwine.com

Vivid red. Sexy aromas of strawberry and raspberry preserves, candied rose and Asian spices. Bitter berry and cherry skin flavors stain the palate, given a firm edge by tangy minerals. Gains sweetness and depth with air and finishes on a strong floral note. I'd drink this now for its vivid fruit.
