Opens with a hint of sour cherry on the nose and palate. That characteristic that can only be described by calling it "Pinot funk" is there. I need to nail that olfactory and taste sensation! The sour cherry gives way to some sweet fruit. Berries and cherries! No, what is next as this warms from cellar temp? Could it be a hint of Brett? Just enough to add complexity. Good buy!!

Nose showed red berries and spice. As the wine opened up, the was a lot of up-front red fruits but more raspberry than cherry. We had it with a chantrelle mushroom pasta dish. I idn't get the earthiness I was looking for, but this is a wonderful fresh pinot noir. If you matched this with turkey for Thankgivings, it woul steal the show!

Great Pinot for the money, earthy with a medium bodied charachter. Cannot wait to try the 2005.
