  Delicate, delicious. Paired surprisingly well with grilled-in-shell oysters.

  The nose immediately leaped from the glass to showcase beguiling notes of pomegranate, fruit cake, assorted herbs, and candied strawberry and raspberry. With time, star fruit, passion fruit, spice, and hints of eucalyptus emerged as well. Big, rich, and concentrated, but clearly young as the tannin/acidic structure needed 3-4 hours to settle, and the fruit to come to the fore on the palate (which was geared toward tropical red fruit flavors). The 14.5% alcohol was also notable at times as well. Good energy and tension though, just needs 5 years (min.) of bottle age to develop further. Not as good as the 2015 today, but could easily be the better wine in the years to come. 93+

  Wish I’d bought more of this…. Delicious cherry flavors, a beam of acidity on the back end. Perhaps too textbook for some but I think this will age well for another 6-8+ years and will develop completely along the way,

  I'm not totally sure how I feel about this pinot. On one hand, it is classy and enjoyable, and clearly made by a producer with decades of experience making honest pinot noir. On the other hand, it is somewhat simplistic - driven heavily by bright red berry fruits and lacking nuances that make the profile taste distinctive. It didn't wow any non-pinot drinkers. Bottom line is, I purchased this bottle on clearance and it was a bargain. I would happily buy it again at that price.
