Dark in the glass. Nose smells ripe and modern at first, but not very giving upon further inspection; some somewhat pleasing barnyard funk if you take a reallly deep whif. Shows good development after 30 minutes of air, acutally a pleasant nose. Palate is quite approachable with sappy fruit, quite a bit of structure but not overly so.

New world style with black cherry, honeycomb, and oak. Chunky tannins. Ripe enough to where varietal ambiguity sets in. Not your silky and long type of pinot. There's some savory natural acidity and good fruit density here however.
Clearly fruit from excellent vineyards that have been left out of the single vineyard blends. Best on day 2

Fruit forward, extracted pinot, with no acidity or structure. It was a drain poor for me. Stay away if you want old world style with acidity and poise.

Interesting Pinot. Unfiltered and unrefined. Took an hour to fully open. Was elegant and not as fruit driven. Nicely integrated. Will improve with some age.
