Popped and poured. Drank over 2 evenings. Very bright and lively (I would have thought it was a very good Beaujolais) but lacking the deeper earthiness and finish I prefer in OR Pinots. Label says "10 months in French oak" - I suspect the barrels were old and neutral. Not a big oak fan but a little more would have helped.

This is a really good PN at the entry point--drinks better than the $16 to $18 you pay. Not heavy, in fact pretty and light on its feet, but with earthy notes of truffles and forest floor, plus clear as bell tones of cherry and strawberry, a little herbiness.

Nice sour cherry and raspberry on the nose with a little earth and bacon fat. Quite light and light body. Fresh and tart on the pallet the sour cherry and a little cranberry shone through. A little one sided, wanted a little more earthiness to add depth.

PnP. No formal notes. Vibrant with good depth of flavor and nice complexity. Would definitely buy again.
