  It has a medium brick red color with a clear rim.
  At first, lots of bright cherry. After 1-2 hours it’s more complex but more muted. Cherry still comes through and now there is rhubarb, fresh wild chanterelles, leather, and a little awkward funkiness with iodine.
  It’s light in the mouth with some strawberry and raspberry.
  Acidity is balanced and body is in the lighter side if medium.

  Nose is well aged Pinot. Entry is lithe just picked strawberry essence rich but delicate, sweet but no way jammy. Keep squirgling and you get a touch of spicy green then licorice which is covered by the increasing elegance of the Pinot juice. The Riedel is now bursting with that strawberry perfume. I thank the grape pickers who chose small berries wisely. The winemaker shows skill for absence of oak or other intrusive intervention.
  I would compare the 2011 to the 1993 and 2001, let the grapes shine!

  Light in color, body but long on flavor. Delicious wine with food. I think it is a keeper for a couple more years at least
