  Very consistent with my last note. This is really lovely and drinking extremely well right now. Wish I had much more...

  Medium ruby core. Cherry and plum-forward nose, with oodles of that Pinot je ne sais quoi that is often described as bacon. Essentially dry, but with touch of sweetness on the attack. Medium-bodied, showing nothing but pure, ripe fruit. If there is any oak at all (I assume there is), I can't detect it. No discernible tannins. Really smooth and pleasant, with a medium length, the palate mirrors the nose beautifully. Very nice. I would say this is ready to go.

  Medium-dark purple color, aromas of plum and pine forest. Luscious, medium bodied fruit flavors of black cherry and black raspberry with ripe plum that slides into a subtle and pleasant dark chocolate-pomegranate-espresso finish that lingers. my only criticism is the ripe fruit could be balanced a little more with a touch more acidity to pique the flavors a little, this plays a little fruit forward, but still very delicious. Drink now.

  drinking well now, the wine has fresh floral, forest and herbal scents, velvet texture, shows spiced raspberry, exotic teas, cherries, earth and cocoa, long finish, has a refreshing quality, easy drinking, goes quickly, matched with BBQ pork pizza

  Now we are talking...Pinot! This isn't a soft, acidic puffy wine, this is a big chewy Pinot. 2012 was a warm vintage and this bottle is full of earth, dark fruit and tart plum. It has a velvety mouth feel and a long full finish. The color is quite dark, this wouldn't be instantly recognizable as a Pinot in a blind wine tasting. I should have made a better dinner, this wine deserved it!
