A bit simple, somewhat generic (but definitely Pinot Noir), perhaps a little short, and extremely delicate. This merits a solid "good," but not much more than that, I think. Expensive, for what it is. Kind of a high class, quality picnic (or mid-week) wine is how I might characterize it.

Dark garnet ruby in the glass. A nose of cherries and red currants. Some nice earthy backing. A whiff of cranberry. The tannins and acidity are so well integrated. This is just in the right place. Wonderfully smooth flavors of earthy red fruits. So food friendly. WOTN.

First concern was a flaw, but it blew off the swampiness after 20 minutes. More oak toasted nuts, some kind of kerosene to the nose. nope that's gotta be a flaw

Mature. A little musty at first but that blows off with some air. Soft and earthy, a little tart.

I'm not sure whether this is corked or I just don't care for it. Fusty and musty.
