Brick red. Significant funk in the nose and pencil shavings. Cherry fruit in the mouth, tannins are faded but enough acidity remains. Distinct black tea on the finish. On it's way out, suggest drink up.

- Purple color with fast forming legs and aromas of cherry and violet. It's balanced and has flavours of tea, cherry and blackberry with a medium/full body. Fleshy texture with a long finish.

- Violet color with fast forming legs and aromas of cherry. It's balanced and has flavours of cherry and strawberry with a medium body. Fleshy texture with a long finish - Holding up well. One of my favorite pinots.

Blind tasting of 16 Pinot Noir with a mix of about 2/3 new world, 1/3 old world. This bottle was very impressive and stumped the crowd i choosing Cali vs. French (although the group eventually settled on CA). Red-fruited cranberry and tart cherry, spicy, and a very long, lingering finish with beautiful acidity. My favorite new-world wine in the tasting, beating a lot of very expensive, high-end bottles.

The wine is tight and young, a little hot upon initial opening. With some air soft strawberry, cherry and spice prevailed. Not as bold as its counterparts show from the same region.

Jam, underbrush, mineral. Still some acidity but probably should drink up

Better than previous bottles. Farmy but pleasant nose, brick color. Surprising acidity and dried montmorency cherries, mineral.

Killer PN at the state monopoly store's sale price of $17. Bright cherries, red fruit, hint of spicy tea. Drinking very nicely now. If scoring 90-92.

Burg Dinner (CA and France--Served Blind!)--Part 2 (The Macks In Bennett Valley): Oaky with gingerbread aromatic. I found the with some heat. Red raspberry and intense fruit. Not to my liking.
