Robert's Holiday Dinner at Margaux's Table (Margaux's Table, White Bear Lake, MN): Light red color. PNP, drank a glass over an hour plus. I love the gorgeous red fruits here; more strawberry on the nose and raspberry on the palate, classic earth and dusty minerality, with amazing intensity from this pale charmer with exquisite purity on a light-medium frame. love it. 92+ to 93pts.

Robert's Holiday Party (Margaux's): This paired nicely with a 2001 Robert Ampeau & Fils Volnay 1er Cru Santenots....both are lighter wines and on the lean side. I liked this wine because of the strawberry component, which I usually find in Rose, but not so much in American Pinot. The wine showed quite a bit of red fruit, although more on the delicate side, i.e., light cherry, raspberry and strawberry notes with some bramble and spice. The strawberry component stood out the most for me. A nice wine I enjoyed sipping! 91+ for me, and surprising, especially for a 2011 Oregon Pinot.

Robert's holiday get-together: Drank a small pour at a tasting. Lush strawberry and raspberry fruit that manages to mix with herbs and earth while remaining light.

Popped and poured. Intense raspberry aroma. Rich flavors of cherry and herbs, vanilla and some cola notes in the sappy finish. Firm backbone, accessible, some complexity. Well made, very good. I liked it even though I'm not normally a fan of vanilla/cherry cola flavors in Pinot Noir.
