March 27, 2010 - Medium ruby red color but very soupy looking. Obviously not filtered. Rich and very extracted. To much on the palate for me. The alcohol dominates the palate. To me the wine tastes acidulated, perhaps even post ferment. Too much lemon for a wine that has this much concentration.

July 27, 2003 - Seattle Tasting Group does Pinot Noir (Olympia, WA, USA): Caramel on the nose. On the palate this was sugary and thick with very little acid. Smooth yet fairly limp.
