Slow-O 4 hours, served non-blind. Much more akin to a SV Rochioli than a KB, which was a very welcome surprise. My first time with this wine, but hopefully not my last. Medium (+) garnet, clear. Beautifully full aromas of raspberry, cherry, clove, tomato leaf and brown spices. Light, but powerful with an attractive mid-palate and very fresh acids. A rather complete package and one that caught the attention of all at the dinner. If you're a fruit bomb lover, stay away. Classy, and highly recommended, 13,6% abv, drink thru 2020

There's a lot here to like but the orange peel aromas and flavors were overly dominant for me at this point which makes it hard to go nuts about the bottle I tasted from.

I feel like this needs some bottle time. Lots of tension and a distinct orange note. Overall love the style of Pinot here and look forward to exploring this producer. 91-93 pts.

Very good, but expected a more vibrant flavor profile. It was solid though, just not a lot of pizazz for the price
