Very seductive nose full of sour cherries, and an attractive meatiness. This wine has great depth and character, and I felt that this was probably the 2nd or 3rd best pinot noir I've tasted recently. Very full-bodied pinot that seems to be hitting its stride right now.
Sweet nose of candied plums. Didn't necessarily have the depth that I was hoping for, and felt somewhat disjointed. This is a very fruit driven wine that was slightly over-the-top for my palate. Probably could use some time in bottle...

Amazing depth on the nose of caramel, apricots, and kerosene. Mouthfeel of this wine is outrageous - totally coating my palate. The tropical fruits explode here, with pineapple, guava, passion fruit, mango and banana intermixed with caramel and white chocolate notes. Extrdoinarily sweet, but with extreme finesse and balance. Stunning bottle.
