This wine is silky smooth. Cherry cola, a little spice predominant with a strawberry finish. The balance is outstanding. There isn’t any thing unique in the flavors but the package delivers what a Pinot should be. The great fruit of California and the nuanced spice and earth of Burgundy. This was a Coravin pour. This is in the sweet spot right now. If you have it drink it.

Nice nose of stewed raspberries and earth. Nice fleshy mid palate of raspberries, mocha and brambles. While tasty the wine doesn’t really come together and feels s tad alcoholic. This is a fairly big Pinot and still can continue to age but won’t get much better.

I bought only one of these--paying more attention to the single vineyards in the offering. Big mistake. This is outstanding pinot.Not as dark as the single vineyards and paling a bit at the rim, but with plenty of legs on the side of the glass. Cherry cola on the nose with a hint of some kind of citrus.Just outstanding on the palate with perfect acidity and mixed tart and sweet red and blue fruit. Alcohol is unnoticeable.the finish is long with a bit of ripe cherry. Equal to burgundies at three times the price. Hats off to Mark Aubert!

Fully in balance and drinking very well. Red fruit, integrated tannins and a long smooth finish.
