The color in the glass was tinged with a slight brown hue, beautiful classic pinot noir nose immediately, red fruit, orange rind, tea and baking spices on the gentle soft finish. Still showing well.

On pop and pour the nose was very mellow with little to suggest what would follow. Dark and thick in the glass. Muted dark cherry on the palate with barnyard. With air the barnyard element really came forward on both the nose and the palate pushing the fruit to the back. If this wine was won’t fruit-forward, it ain’t no more! Smooth finish with mild acidity and tannins. I don’t know what this was like a few years ago, but it may be past its prime at this point.

Hello California! Much fuller and rougher than the Willamette Pinot we just had but I'm still really liking this. There's a great flavor contrast of orange peel and brown sugar. Of course that's not the only thing going on. Tea notes and ripe raspberry are front and center. 900ml of Pinot flavor in a 750ml package!

Excellent. Drinking perfectly. Smooth and integrated Pinot. Not too fruity with a slightly Smokey undertone. Brought to Czarks for dinner
