Beautiful wine with enticing red and dark fruit, strength and balance, smooth mouthfeel, some secondary notes and a long finish. Power and finesse. A very nice wine indeed. Classy

Opened for 3 hours. Color is ruby. On the nose: Cherry, Strawberry and cola spices. On the palate: Strawberry, cherry, Dr. Pepper and baking spices. Wine is good but young. Needs more years to integrate and mellow out I think.

I thought this was excellent. I was expecting to be a little young, but I thought it was ready for business and could also be cellared for several more years. Nice flavors of dried cranberry, candies pecans and wet leaves.

Really good juice. Deep red color, great bouquet and a well rounded mouth feel. Extremely well balanced and has a lot of bottle time available but yet very approachable

Really good stuff here but very young and will benefit from time for sure. The nose has some gas initially, but quickly opens to show ripe raspberry and cherry, baking slice, floral notes, and just a hint of cola. The palate has good balance and good depth. Very good development potential

shouod have decanted for at least an hour, when it finally opened up.
a little tart at the finish, but still a pleasant Pinot.

Nice floral nose with red fruit and violets. Medium bodied, fine tannins, feels a little soft in the mid-pallet.

See prior notes for this - I think the extra year down made this even better. Great with pork tenderloin and roasted cauliflower

A little kinda grapey and forward. Or maybe just youthful.

Similar notes as SMAGOWAN and TONYTHEFISH. A solid wine, certainly drinkable now but should benefit from a few more years of bottle age as well.

Tasted from Coravin at the winery. Superb even with no air; complex, deep and savory. A wow wine that will richly reward a few years in the bottle.
