Had another bottle of this earlier than I expected. This is a well made wine and shows many different faces over multiple days. I just finished day 3 where I had about half a bottle left and the wine lost some of the alcohol taste and exhibited hints of fig and black tea. Smooth with a nice finish. Highly recommended.

Pretty muted nose...kind of smelled like a household cleaner. The rest was great, however. Light to medium bodied with nice acidity. Palate of citrus, smoke and clove which makes this an interesting pinot. The finish actually makes me think I just took a sip of orange juice. This may not be your style, but we enjoyed it and would drink it again.

Great mouthfeel and an excellent QPR. Sweet oaky tannins, chocolate and some round red fruit. Great finish on this one. Was better on the second night so I'd consider decanting my next bottle for 45+ minutes.
