One of my favorite JP Pinot's, this one needed some time to open up, but when it did, it was jammy with hints of blackberry. The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like forest floor and black pepper. It tastes like blackberry. The body is medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

The wine looks crimson colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry and black currant (cassis). It tastes like blackberry, raisin, mushroom and medium toast. The body is light/medium. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

Wonderful wine for Thanksgiving. Just the right body to stand up to turkey and trimmings without overpowering. Big hit at the table of 8!
