Loved this! Everything about it tasted like a Carneros Pinot Noir, which I love. I was amused by vaaccess' tasting note awarding only 67 points. Sounds like he/she is giving this Pinot Noir a pitiful score because... well... it smells, tastes and feels like a pinot noir. I am actually going to see if I can find more of this - loved the big berry fruits, which were fantastic with barbequed salmon.

Was pleasantly surprised by this wine. Immdeiately after opening it was very tight and the flavor was off a bit. However it opened up very nicely and very quickly. Great blance in this wine featutring an appropriate amount of acid. Terifficly strong dark fruit and earthy characteristics. Mushroom characteristics were present but subtle compared to the others. lengthy finish topped off this beauty...

Disapointed by this wine, Nice promising nose ,lacking palate too oaky for my taste, as if the oak was covering up the fruit, maybe some time will help. Other-wise it is a well made wine, not a disaster.

Very different after decanting and sitting for 30 minutes. Started a little harsh but really settled out into a smooth pinot.
