Through the aerator into the glass for over an hour. In the glass: Dark garnet, long legs. On the nose: Initial cork funk, mostly dissipated with air, plum, dark cherry, whiff of liquorice, spice. In the mouth: med. mouth feel, tart berries, some light tannins, weenzy bitter and some heat pokes through on the finish. Not spectacular, but not bad either.

Fully, jammy nose. Deep ruby red. Wow...super smooth right out of the bottle (of course, it's had some time to mature). A very good Pinot Noir blend, and definitely worth a repeat or exploration of other vintages.

Transparent moderate garnet body. Perfume nose with dark cherry, flowers, spice, cedar wood.
Light body, cherries and strawberry on the palate. A little bitterness in the finish at first, but that seems to recede with more time in the glass, revealing a lightly peppered, spicy finish.
This is a pretty good, somewhat layered pinot noir for its price (K&L wine club), and comes from a good vintage.

Light with some tannins and very mild fruits.

Needed some time to open up, after decanting and about 10 minutes, the wine drank much better.
