95 Points

Monday, February 14, 2011 - From the first sip I could see my way to the accolades Spectator bestowed upon this wine - and that's not always the way it goes. The wine immediately reminded me of some of my favorite ~$50 CA Pinots I've enjoyed.

Visually it's slightly dark for Pinot and perhaps veers more towards purple than it should. On the nose it is very pleasant with freshly cut strawberries and a hint of tobacco leaf. On the palate is where this wine really steps up and leaves $20 Pinot Noirs behind. It pours on clean elegant fruit and adds some beautiful slightly-sweet spicy flavors. Silky smooth without a hint of a green or off note. Man, I wish I would have bought more of this.
