  A bit more dense and fuller body than an average Pinot. Still has intact body and structure. Prominent acidity but not lacking in fruit and is holding well. Pleasant but nothing earth shattering. I think it will hold on for at least 5 to 7 more years.

  Maybe fading a bit? Red cherry with some extraction and a slight overripeness. Good but falls short of great.

  Pretty solid juice. Fruit forward, decent acid but a bit of heft, almost like a cab. Fine tannin, never felt “hot” despite alcohol content. Very little p-funk. Super approachable wine, crowd pleaser, great qpr.

  Pretty ho hum. Out of balance. Shy fruit, minimal flavor.
  Fairly astringent and unsatisfying.

  I'll go with the crowd on this. Nice pinot flavors and a definite cut above most of the mid-tiered pinots. If I really paid $30 for this (according to my notes) it's a hell of a weeknight pinot.
