Brought by Jared to dinner at Chez Mike with Maria P. Pop and pour. Medicinal nose of red fruit. Smokey red fruit on the palate. Medium length. Lovely.

Tight on the first night. Better and more open on the second.
The overall impression is taught and focused wine with rocky minerality and deep, ripe (almost roasted) fruit showing as dried cherries. Paired great with grilled skirt steak but lacked the plushness to make we want to drink it without food.
Big wine that's balanced to age for at least five more years.

takes a while to open up, maybe a bit past its prime. Bigger than any of the Ken Wrights from this vintage...but a bit too jammy. Overall a nice new world pinot.

On the nose juicy dark cherry, dried pine needles, cola and pipe tobacco. On the palate, the tannins in previous notes have been mellowed out and the balance between tannins and acid is perfect. Finish is medium long and all fruit.
