I am not much of a PN drinker and very picky of the ones I do drink. This is a nice wine without the PN finish that is so typical of CA PN that I dislike. With that said, this would be a repeat buy if I did not have so much PN I still need to drink.

Dark red color bursting with tight berry aromas upon opening.
Seemed more dense than expected at first. After about an hour, the fruitiness faded and the denser flavors and tannins seemed to come forward a little. I don't recall a similar experience with any other pinot like that.
The character seemed to change somewhat, moving away from typical CA pinot towards OR or Washington.
We enjoyed it and regret only having the one.

Very dark and heavy for a pinot, but great dark berry nose and taste, slightly tart

Dark berry, slightly tart, plum, light tannins, even, overpowered by chocolate but great with tomato pasta
