This Pinot shows hints of the unripeness that plagues so many 2011 Pinots, but they show up as a slight note of sweet red beets that is by no means unpleasant. Fortunately, there's also plenty of cherry jam fruit to carry the wine to richness. With brisk acidity and some dusty tannins, it's fine to drink now, especially with lamb or beef.
