The Second Annual Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir: Retail $50. Dark and earthy with very little fruit on the nose. The palate has some nice fruit, though, with plenty of minerality and some chalky tannins. I am thinking this needs some time. Excellent. 90-92 Points. thedrunkencyclist.com

Smokey cherry leads with blackberry following. A sleek, smooth palate atypical in 2014 brings tart cherry into focus on the mid-palate. Moderate length finish. Well crafted and solid, though missing complexity and layers to take it to the next level.

Lovely wine - light black cherry and plummy fruit - juicy with soft acidity and soft dry tannins. Delicious.

Pinot in the City (Chicago, IL): Walk-around tasting, brief note. Starts out open, get more firm and less accessible towards finish. Tough to assess.
