  By the glass, restaurant purchase from a just opened bottle and in a less than perfect (smallish Cab shape) glass. Translucent but fairly dark garnet color, more like a Brunello than a Pinot to me. More dark fruited than I expect from Pinot from most places outside Cali, though SRH usually are a bit more “old world” than this. Quite closed on the nose and short on the finish. My score reflects my assessment of what it was like with a few minutes in the glass, but to be fair I didn’t have enough time to have it fully express itself before we finished up at the restaurant. It certainly didn’t make a strong impression however.

  Opened a magnum. Great juice. Opened 40 mins before serving during Thanksgiving dinner. Paired well with all the sides and roasted turkey. Very nice wine.

  Highly acid and tart initially. Eventually raspberry and some dark fruit emerge but in an austere faction. Medium bodied and requires a few more years patience.

  ruby, fresh pinote on nose, medium body, nice balance between dark fruit and minerality, satisfying finish, some sous-bois after air
