Did not stand the test of time. In the beginning there was still some strawberry madness going on, but due to the missing structure the wine was a little flabby and alcoholic. It was definitely not for the long run.

Just after opening the nose was gamey to the point of suggesting reduction, and either mellowed with oxidation or tasting into a quite pleasant little funkiness. Big, ripe strawberries dominate the palette, backed up by slight smoke and a hint of leather. Rich, round body. An absolute joy for half off $40, still worth it at full price.

Had with Thanksgiving dinner - great complement to the meal. Full-bodied and well-balanced with strawberry, cranberry notes. Also noticed pleasant smokiness as well. Would buy again.

This wine will definitly polarize the pinot lovers out there. So Let's judge the wine for being a very very good new World pinot. The Bouquet fills the Large Riedel burgundy glasses with a potpourie of strawberries and earthy notes. With Time some bacon and Red blood develop. The palate is well structured for such a powerfull wine (15.5% Alcohol)

Poured through a Finer instead of decanting. Nose full of berries in the glass. Fruit forward on the palette, with a smokey finish.

juicy and floral on the nose, restrained balance of berries and greens that finishes smooth over 15 seconds. A valued daily QPR
