Out of 6 Pinot Noirs we tried on the evening, this one came in number 4 on my taste list. The licorice definitely influenced my decision, while others at the event really found it enjoyable. It was more unified and structured than some of the other less expensive offerings.

Garnet to dark garnet colorin the glass, fairly clear looking. Nose of leather, pepper, berries and cherries. Flavors of berries, raspberries and plums. Medium acidity, medium tannin, medium to full bodied. Drink or hold.

Smooth oak with creamy cherry bursts. Fantastic mouthfeel and as the bottle opened there is a little herb and spice that shines through, as the red fruit fades. Will probably do well to age another year. Certainly age worthy.

Found this underrecognized producer through my local Spec's and was very impressed. Incredibly juicy, with raspberry fruit and plenty of spice and mesquite; to me this is the perfect BBQ wine. good structure and huge body for a russian river pinot, would definitely buy again
Lost a little bit of punch the 2nd night - best advice is to not leave any left over :)

Dark ruby color. A little spice on the cherry nose. Medium weight mouthfeel and a lean finish. Easy to drink alone or with food.
