Subtle nose. Good fruit, with a complex and dry, tobacco finish. Went remarkably well with Salmon. For a new world Pinot, somewhere in between a powerful Willamette Valley pinot, and a subtle Russian River pinot. We paid about $17 - a price at which I'll be buying a few cases!

Pretty standard, drinkable <$20 zin. Nothing special. Little too much alcohol finish, lacking black current palette to be better. Not jammy at all, though, which is nice. Good unaccompanied wine to sip while cooking dinner.
