De couleur bourgogne, avec un nez très présent sur le fumé, fruit mûr, framboise, sang, terre. Bonne acidité, long en bouche et un peu corsé. En bouche on retrouve les mêmes aromes perçus au nez. Très représentant des pinots californiens.

Scoring Factors Description Deliciousness Factor The is the base score for the wine, puts the score in a range Score of 1, 2 or 3 1 - Doesn't leave me wanting more (base score: D) 2 - Decent (base score: C) 3 - Why is the bottle empty already (base score: B+)
Refinements These are sub-factors which skew the score one way or another. Each factor is again a 3 point scale: -1 : Didn't like 0 : No strong feeling or Don't remember +1 : Liked
Each refinement can move the overall score by 1 position (ie, from a B+ to a A or a D to D-)
So if a wine has an overall deliciousness of a B+, but was too expensive for what I thought I got, then it would be a B Smell Depth of Flavour Mouth Feel Finish Value yes, value. If I know the cost value always comes into play. If I don't know the cost this doesn't change the score.

Just over four years old, this mature pinot displays a deep ruby color, and looks almost like a merlot in the glass, but the clarity gives it away. Packed with blueberry aromas, the nose also shows nice, creamy vanilla notes. Luscious blueberry fills the mouth, with other ripe fruit, vanilla and bit of spice, and some earthy notes as well. Now is a good time to drink this one; don't wait too long.

Still drinking well. Nice pinot nose and bright fruit flavours.

Agree with comment that this wine is far too dense. Very fruit forward and lacking acidity. Typical sonoma coast pinot. Not my things.
