This was an extraordinary pinot noir with still bright black cherry fruit flavors, a bit of spice, concentration and a long finish. It could last another several years but I like my pinot noirs when the fruit is still vibrant.

This couldn't be drinking more perfectly. Rough edges from start have rounded out, but there is still the vibrant cherry fruit and balanced acidity. Fresh, young cherry flavors with a dash of clove, mineral and rosemary. Although this could age another few years, I just like the vibrancy of the fruit. It may become too ripe with another few years.

Tight focus at the start but quickly opens to a broad palate of red fruit, big spice (clove and cinnamon) and burgundian style earthy notes. Excellent mouthfeel with texture reminscent of a Gevrey-Chambertain. Sure wish I could have afforded more.
