Uncorked and let sit for 1 hour. Very shy nose of menthol, pomegranate, and violet. Very Burgundian in style for a Bien Nacido offering; reminiscent of a premier Cru Volnay. Taste notes of under ripe strawberry jam and bitter cherry. Not much tannic structure. Very nice food wine for light poultry dishes if you like the style....

Outstanding Pinot. Flavor of strawberry with a delicate mouthfeel. I'm a big fan of this style.

Nicely balanced, less apparent alcohol than I expected from a 14.1%. Lighter style than I remember from other Bien Nacido vineyard pinots. Strawberry.
