Very light color. Reticent aromas. Bracing. More savory than fruit-driven (a plus), but aside from the color, couldn't readily identify it as Pinot Noir.

- It's somewhat balanced with a medium body with a medium finish - This was a great wine. A little smoky but balanced with an elegant lingering finish.

Decanted and drunk over 2.5 hours, third time tasted. Unmistakably Jim Clendenen. Rich, floral, a hint of pepper with a slightly grippy, bitter edge. Elegant, long finish and integrated fine tannins. Completely in balance, a beautiful wine--a dancer and transfixing. As much pleasure in the nose as in the rest of it--I would happily smell this forever.

Lots of coffee and chocolate here along with nice fresh black and blue fruit from this RRV locale.
