  Ripe cherries on the the nose, strawberries on the palate, but not jammy by any means. Lovely, would definitely be a crowd pleaser.

  This is a very rich wine with berry nose and even more berry in mouth. In mouth the wine has tremendous acidity (worth aging this puppy) and a mouthful of raspberry, bing cherry, and a even graphite in here.

  Maybe this was just the right bottle on the right night because everything about it was working well. We tend prefer our Pinots older, leaner and less fruit driven than this was, but no matter, it was straight up delicious. It was a bit one dimensional, yet very expressive on the nose and had great mouthfeel.

  Last wine of the pregame Turkey-Day tomorrow.
  
  A lovely wine which is very strawberry laden on the nose. In mouth it is sweet, strawberry laden, and filled with an acidity that tells me that this wine is built to age. On the nose the wine releases cherry kirsch, sweet crushed cherry fruit and a small amount of iron.
  
  Clearly fresher than the others tonight and worth saving till after 2025.

  Vanilla, baking spices but well balanced. Medium body - more than typical Pinot.
