Ripe red berries, some leather and chalk, a silky texture with unobtrusive tannins. Good balance. Ready now, but has some time ahead of it. Excellent bottle.

Opened last night. A bit of a disappointment. Looks the part: medium ruby with good legs. But the nose shows only weak cherry aromas. A bit better in the mouth, with some body and complexity, but I was expecting more. No signs of cracking up, but unlikely to get much better. 5-10-16-7: 88/100.

91-92 pts. Darker in color for a pinot. Has nice density to it, good concentration, lush ripe black cherry fruit. Great texture to it. Good amount of richness, and enough complexity to keep things interesting. A bit of oak towards the finish, but very subtle. Very good right now, but no rush on this one at all, could smooth out more in 1-2 years.

excellent red, smells of fruit, raspberries, great taste, deep but not too deep tart and stone fruit- lasting flavor. Really excellent now--drink now as it is at peak perfection
