THIS is what I look for in a Pinot noir !! A heady nose of strawberries, sous bois and clove; still a little oaky. A smooth medium weight body with a perfect balance of red fruit and lively acidity. Not a wimpy finish, with long lasting, silky tannins. Cool weather, old world, fresh, but not lacking in the fruit department.

From a Zalto Universal. Bright spice on the nose, a cedary, smokey under current. Fits with '12 profile - meaning more fruit than '11 more aromatic expression. A core of bright cherry pinot spice. Palate is light and lilth, not too much concentration there, not going to be loved by the Anne Gros crowd. Just opened, finish resolves in tannin and acid, maybe a bit short. But hey, its Marsannay. Now, the price...?

Sous bois and cheery cherry nose. Bright red cherry palate, nice acidity, and lightly toasted spice on the finish. $65 at Kinship.
