Right after opening, the nose is full of barnyard funk, along with some more familiar plum and red fruit notes. Very angular on the palate. After 2-3 hours, was more approachable, particularly with food but still more "interesting" than "delicious".
On day two, then nose is bigger, with a stewed fruit element and some Oregon-like forest floor notes. Taste is still pretty lean, but more approachable and enjoyable.
Not a bad wine, but it need more age, a better food pairing, or both.
[edit] this wine improved for 5! days after opening. No vacuvin, just a cork in the bottle.

Good, and well-made. Red fruit Pinot with some earth n dirt. Med- body, med acid, med/ tannin. Better day two. Get more if you can find it cheap enough.

This is a pleasant Earth driven Pinot noir. Red fruits, with elements of as much dried as fresh fruit. It's definitely a great option for someone who wants a little darker fruit and density than with a similarly priced Bourgogne rouge. And for those who enjoy this style, the price is more than fair.

Somewhat muted nose of cranberry and tomato leaf. The wine has strong tannins, but a nice mouth feel. There are obvious, slightly underripe red fruit flavors on the palate, providing the wine with a nice acidity. I found it charming, but I would wait a year or two if you have a few bottles.

Medium nose shows sour fruit, light funk, floral notes. Palate is mineral driven, tight, dried spice, raspberry skin. Needs time.
