  I loved this wine at the winery and should have purchased more. It is a strong, deep red cherry profile that is unexpected in a pinot. Some vanilla notes to add interest and a nice spicy finish.

  Excellent Pinot. Deep color for a Pinot with a nose that I could not get enough of - a perfect balance of red fruit, brown spice, and a hint of vanilla. It was a firm wine with good structure throughout the taste. Cherry and cedar profile that lingered on the palate. The fruit was well balanced and not jammy. There were good earth and spice tones, but not the bitter minerality/metalic taste that I find distrating. A great bottle of Pinot.
