Pale ruby in the glass. Nose of smoky cherry, pinecone. Taste - full flavoured, of red cherries and cranberry, well integrated tannin and some spice. Young yet enticing, I’d order more.

Rich and fully extracted this had flavours of black cherry infused with chestnuts and spice. It had a polished texture developing dark chocolate on the finish. Although the use of oak is apparent it has provided spice and is now fairly integrated. Compared to a classic red Burgundy, I found this rather atypical, but judging this on its own merit, not dislikeable. Would I buy a bottle, the answer is no, but then again, I wouldn’t refuse a glass. CHP 87 pts

Haunting aromas of cherry, woodsmoke, pine. Sweet. Evocative, romantic, deeply seductive. Hypnotic. A fellow taster says it shouldn’t really be aged - it’s at its peak now. Hmm! I can easily disagree with that, but he might have a point. I love this, it’s gorgeous.

Overwhelming Dark fruit flavors, tannins, and acids. I never would have guessed this was a pinot noir.

Medium ruby.
Black cherries nose/palate.
Good wine, although I prefer the Parker Station Pinot Noir from the same producer.
