The 2008 Mount Eden Pinot falls short of the estate's usual mountain-bred precision. Warm vintage conditions and high yields have produced a wine with candied, overripe fruit flavors that lack the complexity and structure typical of this site. The finish feels soft and diffuse rather than focused. A rare misstep from this normally reliable producer.
