This is quite a full bodied Pinot, it's deep and brooding in colour with a dark cherry and savoury nose with just a touch of cola, the palate is Black Forest cherry with sous bois and earth, just the last fine tannins remain to coat the sides of the mouth, the legs are long and strong as is the finish. It's got great concentration and is very tasty, just not a subtle wine.

Impressive deep scents of spice and earth on the nose. Black cherry with just a hint of tartness when drinking complimented the aformentioned spice. A rich flavorfull Pinot.

Decant this if drinking now. Was pleasant on first night, but not special. FOUR nights later (after recorking with argon), profound flavors of oregano and cola mixed with red fruit. Should def decant this if drinking soon.

Wow. This wine was luscious and smooth as silk. The nose popped from the outset. Finish was 60+ seconds. This is going to be outstanding once it fully matures.

wine is definitely not over the hill and I would guess will drink well for several more years. as a cab guy I find Lynmar's pinots to be my favorite

Juicy fruit, ripe flavor with notes of dark cherry and some light spice. Nice balance. Very enjoyable wine from a very consistent producer

Decanted and drank over 2 hours. This is simply a great pinot. Glad we have a few more bottles in the cellar.

A Gem from the Bliss Block of Quail
Hill. Big bold luscious cherry and dark fruit with a pleasing, balanced finish, Beckons for another mouthful.

Elegant, fruit-forward bouquet followed by a velvety mouth of cherries and a touch of spice. Quite delicious paired with rockfish as well as rabbit.
