Classical Russian river pinot, deep color most likely some Syrah blended in. Good balance of fruit, acidity and some tanins. Not too much residual sweetness

Dark berry dominates from the nose to the finish; but it's quite pleasurable and offers more than one note. Its complexity comes from a step up in body from first-touch to the finish. It starts light and finishes with a medium mouth-feel. Ultimately it was not an ideal pairing with steak frites and bernaise, but still delivered dutifully and is an undoubted crowd-pleaser.

I'm not a big fan of Pinot's but this caught me by surprise. This one was full bodied and had delicious notes of dark cherries that lingered on the palate. This is a must try if still available. Well worth the money and could easily become a favorite.

First, my LEAST favorite varietal is Pinot Noir. I usually find it too "thin" and lacking in body and character. However, this is really good. Yes, it is light in body, but it is full of flavor. I liked it at the winery, and I'm glad I decided to buy a bottle. Opened with a turkey dinner last night and enjoying on its own tonight. I am tempted to buy more....

Fruit forward with a bigger finish than expected. Bolder than most and very enjoyable.

Fresh chopped cherry on the nose. Light flavor of cherry and biscuit. Watery. Pleasant light tannic finish.
