Great nose with good body and long lingering finish Great 20 year old Pinot Noir with a finish that makes each sip better. Reminds me of some good burgundies that I have had in the past.

Pale red to orange-ish at the rim. Fragrant nose of cherry fruit, tea, sassafras. Palate is marked with delicious dark cherry, olive, tea, and strawberries. Still quite structured with a lush mid-palate and beautifully stated acidity that really sings. This wine is stunning, really. A beautiful seven year old Cali Pinot. Me likes it. A lot.

Light red, cloudy in the glass. Nose of red cherry, oak, smoky. Palate features bright cherry fruit, some earth, bit of cinnamon. Pleasing tart cherry on the finish. Nice acidity hanging in. Very tasty and subtle pinot here. Nice drinking now.

Pale garnet core, wide browning rim. Sweet, intense ripe red cherries on the nose, vanilla, very slight earthy vegetal edge. Very intense, slightly spicy red cherry on the palate too, vanilla. Quite full bodied and actually a little heavy and syrupy, particularly after the first glass. Some savoury complexity on the finish. No more than good.

Another Saturday at Chevalier...Mostly Blind New World Pinot Noir (Chevalier Fine Wines - Chicago IL): Double blind in New World Pinot Noir tasting. Charming red and black fruit with good weight and structure, but fully mature, showing at least as much earth and mushroom as fruit. Very enjoyable.
