One of those heavy wine bottles to communicate it’s high end, but made me suspicious. Medium by almost all criteria. Acidity medium. Raspberry-like fruit, nice weight, slightly tannic in a good way (they call this integrated). Body, medium. But ultimately enjoyable. Over priced, all things considered.

Over-cooked plums, jammy prunes, cooked peaches and other stone fruits, over-balanced and fruit-dominated, light-weight tannins, yeasty aromas, a bit dense. This does not taste like a Pinot Noir, but rather closer to a Cabernet Sauvignon wanna-be. Some refer to this as a California Pinot.

Dark cherry red, floral fragrance, rich and dark overtones, baked and dried fruit notably plums, great flavor contrast to west coast US Pinot Noir, yet lightness akin to many other Pinot Noir cuvees. Very enjoyable.
