W salmon night before Thanksgiving. Very nice and still young in fruit and flavors but the oomph is not there. Very elegant / restraint and balanced but still. Drink upstate would say but veryenjoyable still.

Big RRV Pinot with lots of complexity and a medium-long finish. Not as thick as a Bella glos/meomi. A nice balance of smooth tannins, mouth feel, and alcohol. True to RRV style with more fruit than tobacco/leather/forest floor. Would drink again.

Rich, delicious, full-bodied dark strawberry/black cherry fruit with smokey flavors, excellent structure, long finish, beautiful wine, expansive and round

Hugh Pinot. Not what you expect of a Pinot, big dark and intense. The wine drinks more like a Bordeaux than a burgundy deep color almost black, intense aromas of leather and earth, and deep tastes on the palate of fruit, tar, and leather. This is not a wine to drink with poultry or oily fish there is nothing delicate about it but it is a great wine none the less. Not a pop a pour wine this must be decanted before drinking and will open up considerable after an hour.
