- Garnet color with medium forming legs. It's balanced with a medium body. Smooth texture with a long finish - Excellent. Leaning to earthy side rather than fruity; as is right for Pinot. A real winner at the price.

- Brick color. It's somewhat balanced with a medium/full body. Linear texture with a medium finish - Nice wine. Pleasant hint of Spanish olive at first approach on the nose and in the mouth. Was lovely with lamb. On its
own after dinner the acid was a little more forward.

- Garnet color - Really enjoyed this. A lot of the aromas and favors you'd expect, with a very elegant overall profile. The first pour into the glass seemed a bit acid sharp but after 15 minutes smoothed out very nicely. Glad I have a couple more bottles.
