Very solid PN for the money -- rich, but showing red fruit, with lots of acidity on the back end of the palate. It definitely shows its Burgundian roots. Love a single vineyard Pinot under $20!

First this wine had me worried when I saw the alcohol level at 14.6%. WOW this is extreme for a Pinot. Must be overripped ??
Nose: Alcohol (again had me worried), sweet rasberry, cherry, menthol. mineral quality that we find in Pinot noir. oaky as well
Palate: OMG this is way too overripped. Alcohol, tannin, roses, lavender, rasberry, menthol, and medium tannic finish. This is an atypical Pinot byt its power and high Alcohol level.
Not bad but not what I am looking for when drinking Pinot Noir.
Voila !

Fruit forward, hints of cherry, medium-bodied, sweet aroma, smooth finish. Good value at $17/bottle.
Enjoyed with soft truffle goat cheese and crackers. Would purchase again.
