Overall: 
This is a delightful, light pinot. Visually it looks very light, but it's palate surprises with a complex blend of fruit, smokiness and some spice. I don't know what it costs, as it was given as a gift, but I would buy a few bottles if I could find them locally. It's imminently drinkable with or without food.
