Adrian Fog Winery-Pinot Noir-Oppenlander Vineyard-Mendocino County-California-2008-14.5% Alcohol-$48.48-A nose of cherry and spice, dark garnet in color.  A medium bodied single vineyard Pinot with currants, cherries, and raspberries, found it unbalanced, was disappointed  since I have wanted to try this producer’s wine, much better values out there.               WS-88            CR-86             Good with seafood, cheese, salads.
