Not sure it's worthy of all Broadent's hype but it's a solid new world pinot without too much candied sweetness - it improves dramatically with air and day2 is preferable to day2 for my palate.

A nice RRV California Pinot Noir with decent balance of acid and fruit. Very thin tannin which is a shame but the acidity is resilient. It is a little too fruity for my taste mostly of ripe cherry and strawberry which is almost jammy. A bit too much but fortunately the acid remains as an offset. Whew!

A relatively straight forward albeit well made and elegant new world pinot noir, with all the hallmarks of the sweet ripe core, open and aromatic nose and very forward. A nice wine but does not go beyond that. A good 88, drink now.

After an hour's decant, this showed decent depth, but the overwhelming flavour for me was cherryaid. I can imagine liking this in a few years if the flavour profile darkens a bit but for now it is not for me.

Läcker ung frukt med alla drag som gör amerkansk PN intressant. Rabarber, hallon, ett stänk romrussin och blodapelsin. Faten märks men håller sig i bakgrunden. Lite vanilj, julkryddor (kanel, kryddnejlika, ingefära) och ädelträ tittar fram i bakgrunden och rundar av hela kalaset. Bra intensitet och småbittert i munnen med en gnutta restsötma och rejäl syra.
Syndigt gott och okomplicerat.

Bright rhubarb nose with light pepper overtones. Light brick color. Raspberry and rhubarb with cocoa and light anise end. Well balanced and nice lingering finish.

Nose of sour fruits tempered by light cocoa aroma. Medium bodied, full fruit, balanced acidity. Delightful!

Aromatic nose of sour fruits. Ripe fruit well-balanced with tannins. Long finish.

Bursting with overripe fruit, nice tannic backbone, but still soft. Excellent.
