  February 6, 2016 - Dark ruby red for a Pinot; rich aromas of dark fruit with some strawberries and tea; medium-full bodied, good level of integration and tannins; dry, rich dark fruit flavors with some oak. The finish was long, dry and clean with a little sweetness.

  July 2, 2015 - Very fun wine. Looks deeper and richer than your average Pinot, and does provide more tannins and a richer palate. The nose screamed pinot with a little more brambles and dark fruit. More body than your average Pinot as well. Almost like a Moulin a Vent Bojo. Low alcohol. Well done.

  March 4, 2014 - Very intriguing wine; one that draws you in to find out what it has to offer. First Pinot Meunier I’ve had as a single varietal still wine. Tasted blind, the nose would lead me toward a Cotes du Rhone, as I picked up herbal notes along with singed wet straw, as well as some dried cranberry and cherry. On the palate, this veers more towards a Pinot Noir, but with more herbal action that’s reminiscent of an Oregon Pinot. The layers unfold nicely on the palate. I really enjoyed this.
