Not giving much on the nose or palate. Dark, mineral-laden fruit on the nose with some hints of red fruit on the palate. Very subtle, was hoping for a bit more from this wine, to be honest

Quick double decant, and open for a couple hours before drinking. Part of a blind tasting of 8 pinots from Burgundy, Oregon and CA. No detailed notes, but everyone at the table guessed CA. With 20/20 hindsight, the higher acid should have been the giveaway. Nice wine, but didn't stand out among the other wines tonight.

Outstanding right of the gate. Expressive citrus and funky earth. The attack is brambly. Very compelling texture. Very long finish with sweet tannins and medium acid.

Deep dark ruby in color - aromas of ripe dark cherries and cocoa powder. A meaty frame with smoky but sleek fruits fill the midpalate. A substantial wine without being heavy - a great match for marinated skirt steak on the grill.

Monthly Tasting Group: Blind Pinots Worldwide (The Bungalow Club, Mpls): Small taste, non blind, Earthy and red fruited, floral, very dank floral notes on the palate. I really like this one. 91+ to 92pts.

This is a wonderfully bright, fat juicy Beaune that is popping right now.
