  In a nice place. Paired with Salmon. Red fruit and spice on the nose. Cherry, raspberries on the palate. Smooth, nicely resolved tannins with medium+ finish.

  This balanced wine is drinking superb with some of youthfulness remaining. The spices really pop on the finish.

  The perfect burgundian pinot with a roasted chicken.

  Appears quite young, deep garnet core with a watery rim. Could have been bottled yesterday. The color is deep: a little less translucent and more purple than I might expect from a Pinot Noir.
  
  The nose is medium minus in intensity but quite pleasant. Driven by raspberries and vanilla. Smells very much like New World Pinot in its prominent fruit aromas. If the nose is on the shy side, the taste is anything but. Concentrated, dominated by savory fruits raspberries and cherries, with vanilla and a cherry-cola note that I usually associate with Pinots from the Russian River Valley. Any earthy notes that I might be tastings are far off in the distance.
  
  Overall, a nice drink if you're in the mood for New World style Pinot. As much as I appreciate Burgundy, sometimes you're in the mood for a wine like this, and it definitely hits the spot.

  While I found the nose very light, the wine is drinking very well right now. Lots of red fruits - cherry, raspberry - with a little earth & forest floor going on too.
