This showed more age in color than the Rosella's. It also had somewhat of a pruney quality to it. Given my good experience with two previous bottles, I'm guessing this may have suffered some heat damage at some point in its life (I bought it from WineBid). Not bad, just not of the quality I expect either from the producer or from the vineyard. With an awesome zucchini and cheese lasagna.
Popped and poured and consumed over 3 hours. Lighter in color, good nose that is spicy and crisp. Smooth easy going, with a nice sharp finish. This is a pinot that is easily consumed, not heavy.

Very nice juice. Much lighter in color, but much more fragrant than the regular bottling. It was a perfect compliment to our dinner of pork tenderloin and pineapple salsa.

Opened for the Miner OL at the house.... spicy, red fruit, that nice acidity and leaness I like in Pinot... refreshing yet also vibrant and good finish
