Monday hangout at Domaine (Chicago, IL): Served double blind. Easily guessed as California pinot noir. The ripe fruit here is quite obvious, and there's a liqueur aspect that pushes the envelope a little bit for me. Sweet and more confected than the other two wines in the lineup (which ended up being Pomarium and Scallop Shelf). High tannins with a discernible alcohol kick. Time would be beneficial.

Well integrated, lots of brown sugar and spice, warm tones to the fruit of with a hint of driftwood. I liked this a good deal and find it ready to drink

Aroma: somewhat reticent blueberry, eucalyptus, minerals and almond blossoms. Palate: rich and complex with a good tension between red fruits and woody, forest-floor notes. Good acidity with a core of sweet fruit. Mineral elements. A touch of creamy vanilla. Nicely balanced. Drinkable now or capable of aging.
