In a great spot. Nose of red fruits, roses and spice. Balanced, great mid palate and long delicate finish. Red Fruit still intact and taking on some dried fruit and rose notes. Stems add spice. Tannins soft and acid provides lift to a solid fruit core. Great with lamb but definitely a wine that can be enjoyed by itself. Took about an hr to open up. Riedel Pinot glass.

Quite youthful, could have convinced me this wine was only 2-3 years old. Spiced cherries, cranberries, and potpourri on the nose. The floral aromatics are the defining feature on this bottle and are exquisite. Soft and silky on the palate, with fresh acidity which provides a nice lift to floral tones on the palate. One can taste the rose petals, lilac, and lavender as they lead into notes of baking spice and organic soil on the finish. Delicious juice, with plenty of room for further development.

A spectacular bottle of WV Pinot Noir. At once elegant and edgy. Lovely perfume, impressive substance. Showing beautifully now, and there is no hurry! 92-93.

Half bottle, tasted over two days. Another excellent showing! A wine of the flowered, fruit-laden, earth...all featured prominently here. It needs air to show its best.

One of the better 12's I've had lately. Disappointed on how 12 WV is development.
