One of the best Pinots we've had! Very dark in color. Very balanced and very full of fresh fruit flavors, complexity, and a subtle sense of power. This was our last bottle and the best. There is a bright future for this wine for about five more years.

Fruit is dark and brambly. Very dark in the glass. Modest nose. Great mouthfeel and aftertaste. Decanted. Drank over two days with significant improvement on the second.

This bottle needed a bit of time for the alcohol nose to blow off. Once it did, the wine tasted great especially with our grilled Ahi tuna. Nice body and aftertaste. Day 2 -- even better! The fruit was richer and "rounder". No hint of alcohol on the nose. Very enjoyable.

Tasty ripe dark red cherry and spice aromas and flavors with refreshing acidity and tannins on the moderate long finish.

Easy drinking with soft tannins and nuanced fruit.. not nearly as good as the 2016 Joy Road.
