Cherry and a bit of raspberry fruit. Sweet oak and the smokiness that everyone else noticed as well. (was '08 the year of all the wildfires in the area?) Nice ruby color and very smooth mouthfeel, but an acidity on the finish that went quite well with goulash.

Fantastic aromas of deep raspberry and smoke. On the fuller bodied side with mouthcoating sweet berry flavors and a very long finish. Had at the winery in 2010 and loved it, a year later it is drinking even better. Wonderful.

This was really good. Aromas of berries and some smokiness. Wow, the taste was cranberries and raspberries, some smoke and a nice earthiness. The finish was long and delicious.

Really coming around now, with deep garnet color, showy nose of black fruit and smoke. Palate shows classic black cherry and rose petal, backed with some earthy flavors and round tannins, finishes long and pleasantly. Allow for a long decant.

Berry-licious. Raspberry? Medium body but with tons of fruit. Not much in the way of tannic structure, just smooth, easy to drink, and tasty. Definitely a crowd pleaser.

Fantastic! Nice strawberry and tar nose. Opened up wonderfully with a nice berry then then mid palate of tar and smoke. The finish is never ending tart fruit. Very complex and wonderfully layered.

Nose: strawberry, smoke, tar, black pepper Taste: strawberry cream (we get a melalactic taste). Fruit early, Tar late. Clean, but lingering finish. (can feel finish not big flavor finish). Love this wine.

Starts with barnyard then floral and cherry notes on the nose. Full rich palate of cherry, long slightly sharp a acidic finish that craves some food.
After being open a while the barnyard fades to more of a secondary stinky cheese with ripe cherry and stem notes at the forefront.
This is great right now.

An incredible bottle of Pinot. Floral notes with strawberry, cola, spice box and an incredible finish. One of the best pinots I have had this year.

Full bodied, fruit forward, cherry nose. Not overly complex but well integrated Pinot.
