Decent Pinot - cherries on the nose open up to good acidity, muted red fruit, and balanced soft texture. Did well paired with pork chops on wood fired grill. One more left, but will drink soon.

First impression - medium bodied fruit bomb, particularly on the palate. Not that complex but well constructed. After dinner (bison tenderloin) it started to reveal a bit more depth, with the black fruit, medium oak, and velvety tannins well integrated. Very happy with the bottle, but not my 'go to' wine to showcase a top shelf Napa estate Cab. Have some more and will compare in a couple years.

Exceptional. Excellent nose of black fruit, licorice, and a subtle oak. Taste is the same black fruit, fine smooth tannins with a solid structure. Certainly a big wine that is drinking very well right now. Not sure additional time in the cellar will improve any more, so time to drink up.
