Lovely nose of dried flowers with gamy nuances and the fruit is gentle and stewed, like blood orange or something. Beautiful balance on the palate with clean and fresh flavors that show just enough complexity and length. A very good wine that delivers what is promised in a very pretty way.

Gosh this was good - much better than a previous bottle with a weird vegetal note. Clean, bright, raspberry fruit. If you wanted to explain to someone what crunchy fruit meant this would be the wine to do it. Light bodied and elegant. Young but no crime at all to drink now.

Excellent wine and drinking beautifully right now. Complexity, detail, and expressiveness that belies its modest terroir and price. Firmly structured bright red fruit completely shot through with pungent wet earthy soil, with a slightly rustic animale sense too. Absolutely lovely wine.

Pretty and light on the nose and palate. Bright acidity makes this fresh and vibrant, but this is simple and lacks depth, making for a hollow mid-palate and very short, clipped finish. Nice, but drinks more like an AOC Bourgogne level wine and not a $34 one. Disappointed.

Delicious layers of red pinot fruit matched with just the right amount of earth and structure. There is a barely noticeable steminess that is the real deal and part of the intrigue of this wine. Very pure. I like this style and at $30/bottle I will buy more.

This wine is drinking beautifully right now, given a two-plus hour lead time after opening. The aromatics are high toned red fruit and base notes of earth. It is graceful on the nose, very true in its pinot-ness. Firmly structured but the tannins are fine and elegant, the wine is well balanced and complex, with lively flavors and a lovely perfume. Delicious wine, and a whole lot of quality at this price.
