  Briefly decanted and consumed with NY strips. A well made Pinot Noir without the distracting earthiness and gunpowder often found in this varietal. Soft and round but held its own in pairing with the well seasoned steaks.

  Good and will get better. A little tight at first but lots of fruit. Finish was a little harsh.

  Best pinot I've had in a long time. I am not a pinot lover.
  Medium bodied. Slightly tight and dry. Great long finish. On the low side of sugar and spicyness. I don't think the average pinot lover will think that's a positive, but this cqv lover does.
