  Pinot nose with slight touch of earth. Violet and strawberry fruit on first taste and through mid palate. Finishes with round fruit which lasts a bit. Could pass for a Russian River Pinot when served at cellar temp. As it warms, becomes muddy and earth notes overtake.

  Red, medium intensity. Developed, medium intensity nose of red sour berries, as cranberries and lingonberries. Fresh. On the palate dry, medium(+) acidity wrapped in fruit, sandy medium tannins, medium body. 13%. Several nuances of red fruit. Medium length with a whiff of white pepper. Vibrating energy.

  PnP’d. Very Pinot like with nice spice. Very fruit forward with cherries and strawberries. Medium minus depth and medium finish. Not my style.

  Bright potpourri aroma, cranberries and white pepper on the nose. After two hours of decanting, the palate is rich and smooth with tannins much lowered. Purity of the nose continued to show in the medium-bodied mid-palate. Finish has fresh red fruits and somewhat green and chalky tannins.
