Popped and poured in Copake. Nose is reticent, with a slight aroma of red fruit. Medium body with copious amounts of strawberry and cherry fruit. There’s plenty of Pinot spice here, and a touch of earthy minerality as well. I notice too the wine has a slight viscous quality, likely from the oak in which it was aged. Tannins are resolved, long spicy, acidic finish. Very pretty Pinot and drinking superbly at present. PS: Finished bottle the second nite open and it was little changed; perhaps the spice had diminished slightly. Lovely burg.

very much alive - what tannins there were are fully resolved and the fruit is delicate but distinct - drink over the next year or so

Red fruit (cherry, strawberry), nice spice, slight earth, good acidity. Bright. Lingering finish. Needs a couple hours air.
