Strong Pauillac nose is absent. Red fruit. Very slight hint of the characteristic pencil lead. Not a prototypical Pauillac experience, but tasty. Some acidity remains, but not sure fruit will keep up for the duration. Drink now thru 2018(?)

Perfectly good Oregon Pinot. Juicy red fruit. Slight hint of mineral on mid palate with same very late in finish. Tasting experience would have been better with some more acidity, but this -is- a 2012 Willamette Pinot. This wine would be very enjoyable with salmon.

2011 Bernard Dugat-Py Bourgogne Cuvée Halinard

Such expressive fruit from a Bourgogne classified vintage! Red -and- blue fruit, and a hint of fennel(?). Young ... but delicious.
