Black berries and cherries throughout with very impressive concentration for a wine at this price. Still nicely fresh and meaty with savory spice nicely integrated. Nothing complex, but a wonderful everyday drinker.

Lots of spice alongside black berries with very good+ concentration, especially for its price. I haven't tasted this since just after release, and think it is better now. Very impressive.

Year 3 - Super Tasting 3 of 5 - Chris Does Blind Pinot Noir: Off the bat I detect a definite stem signature on this wine. The nose is of gravel, grapefruit, smoke, light brown spice, light hints of cured meat, but also some darker tinged fruit via plums and dark cherries. The palate comes across as relatively low in acid and medium minus tannin. While ripe, dark and obviously Cali in style, I was still able to enjoy this due to some complexity on the nose. The group easily called this as California.

These Rhys/Alesia really make you wait to give up the goods; finally in a spot I enjoy; not sure I need to wait 10 years for other PNs but I liked where this is heading

Year 3 - Super Tasting 3 of 5 - Chris does Blind Pinot Noir (Dundas, Ontario): Gorgeous nose of incense, liquid flowers and tart red fruit.
Palate shows menthol, stems, flowers, citrus and pure red fruit. It needs a bit more acid as it is quite ripe....just a touch out of balance.
Finish is medium
