(Dag 2) Duft av søte bringebær, noe mørke bær, tre, litt krydder, hengt kjøtt. Røde og blå bær, hint av appelsinskall, mørke plommer, sødmefull, bra konsentrasjon og lengde, moderat syre, fine tanniner.

Perfumed red cherry aroma with notes of dried flowers, vanilla, and baking spices. Very complex. Rich red and black fruit flavors with a plum finish. Notes of cola and orange zest too. Smooth with fine tannins and good balance. Finish is short but improves with some air. Smells better than it tastes.
Lovely wine, but missing something special? May improve with more time.

Popped and poured this one , pairing with grilled tilapia and grilled peppers/eggplant . Ripeness is the dominant characteristic here . Not in a negative way. Well-made and balanced . Medium acidity , medium mouthfeel and medium tannins . Good but not great finish . Although I may have opened it a bit early, I don’t think you need to wait until 2026.

What a fantastic wine from WS! Cherry, cola, rasberry flavors all perfectly commingled to make a truly delicious wine! Have had other vintages of this wine and they have all been fantastic and it looks like this one will meet the standard of those before it! Has a great smooth/velvety feel to it with a nice long finish. Was very enjoyable as a PnP and has plebty of life left in it. Excited to see how it continues to develop and will probably wait until Q2 or Q3 of 2024 before trying another from this vintage.

I’m rating this on current taste but factoring in a point +. This is because there are delightful strawberry, raspberry, and flower petal hints all over this wine. It may seem discombobulated now but wait 3+ years and see.

We opened this, had a couple of glasses and saved it with our Coravin for a couple of days. It was a little disappointing today-maybe we didn't save as well as other bottles we have done this with. tobacco and leather which is unusual for a Pinot. Still a great smooth subtle pinot, but I won't rate it this time.

Bright ruby color with slow legs. Cherry, cinnamon and orange blossom on the nose. Raspberry, cola and baking spices on the palate. Long satin like finish.

Lots of bright fruit. Air brings out some sleeper flavors. Medium plus acidity. Medium bodied. Great nose. Lots going on during the finish. A bit of forest floor. Needs some time before those secondary flavors come out.

This is fine enough, but doesn't seem like good QPR compared to this producer's other wines. Some sweet cola and oak on the nose. Medium/light on the palate with a bit of sourness on an abrupt finish. Could just be that I opened this too early, but it seems a little disjointed.

cola and leather with a touch of cherry. A little dark note on the finish. Good wine with our BBQ chicken.

Cherry coke, vanilla, espresso, mint. A charming Cali Pinot Noir. The best choice with porterhouse steak at tonight!
