Classic pinot and a bit of earth on the nose with a medium ruby color. Extremely agreeable wine right out of the bottle with light red fruits -- raspberries and cherries -- and a bit of spice while showing several light layers of complexity. A medium to light tannin structure so this wine won't last very long -- maybe 2011 or 2012.

Expressive pinot nose, with notes of spice-infused dark cherries and hints of forest floor and pine needles. Big flavors of cherry, berry and hints of vanilla bean on the attack, followed by rich tannins, some earth and mineral notes, and just the right acidity. Finish is long. This is delicious wine. Seems to have the structure for a long life. Hold for 2-3 years or drink now.

We went to a cooking class last night and this was on the table. Poured a small glass for myself. Sweet strawberry on the front with a cherry finish. Seemed thin in the middle with a dry, clipped finish. Fair.

Unfortunately past its prime. Little fruit left. Could tell it used to be good. Bummer.
