Last of five in the tasting, this was dark and powerfully aromatic, with an in-your- face blast of dark fruit. Unfortunately for me, I noticed too much in-your- face oak and heat, really did not enjoy it much at all. No doubt it is big, ripe and jammy, but not what I like in pinot, and even for its style it seemed unbalanced and ponderous.

This wine was our bon bouche of the evening. It ranked at or close to the top as everyone’s favorite of the evening. The wine has a large, open nose filled with blackberries and earth plums. The taste was filled with lush, fruit such as blackberries, currants, some black cherry and ripe plum. The finish was eternal on fruit. Quite a mouthful of delicious Pinot.
