Pnp. Une très belle bouteille ce midi pour un bbq en famille. Tout se passe en bouche. Très soyeux. On est évidemment en présence d'un vin vin américain mais très bourguignon dans son style.

This is a disappointment. Mind you , it is a good wine. it is a good russian river pinot noir. As it should be. But I expected more than that of a such hyped winemaker and a $94 wine. I had it over the course of two days to check if it would improve. Fist sip sodalike, no finish, then soil and forestbed. Overripe strawberries, some tannins, not much. Finish opens up after an hour. Still short for a wine this caliper. Next day the strawberries are more like black forest fruit and some vanilla custard. Lacks the texture I like in russian river pinot. With marinated duck breast in fig sauce it is really yummy together the rather short finish gets longer. Guess it is a food wine, like an old school rioja. I do prefer the cheaper Marimar Cristina. It is only slightly better than Rodney Strong reserve which costs half the price. I have one more bottle and I will keep it for some years to see, if I opened it too early.

Nice length... surprisingly refreshing and brimming with acidity

Superbe Pinot de CA au style Bourguignon, belle surprise en suivant tous ces beaux Bourgognes, du fruit à revendre, ne faisait pas son age.
Very nice Pinot from CA, has a Burgundy feel and texture to it, lots of fruit, well balanced, not even showing his age, very classy. 91-92
