  Very solid for a '11. Mouth feel and nose very good. Long, smooth finish.

  This reminds me a lot of the Purple Hands Stoller Vineyard Dundee Hills Pinot Noir that I had a couple weeks ago only that wine was substantially better. They both have a lot of the same floral components but the Stoller is smoother, richer and just more pleasing to drink. This wine is good as well but for a few dollars more I would choose the Stoller over this every time.

  Very nice wine, especially for the price and vintage. A bit tight at pop, then opened up over the course of the night. Solid acidic core with fruit and tea undertones. Has great freshness and slight spritzy character that should fade with more time in bottle. Good buy for OR PN and burg fans. For those looking for ripe PN (think CA Russian river), stay away.
