This wine has turned around a great deal in the last year. My last rating was 89, and now I am angry I didn't buy more. Elegant, earthy, great finish, great fruit balance. Excellent.

Give this 30 minutes and it turns into a gem. Right out of the bottle its a little reserved, but opens nicely. Good fruit balance, nice tannins, although the finish leaves you wanting a little more.

A light crimson color emerges as I smell the fresh berries and toasted spice. Medium bodied with a slight acidic backbone balancing the fruit. Flavors are beautifully concentrated showing ripe fleshy berry fruit and toasted cherry tart. The finish is robust yet refined with a defined acidity. This is a very nice wine indeed.

Nice, big flavors. Somewhat astrigent out of the bottle. Letting it decant will help. Bresh berries and spice along with coffee on the palate.

Very nice wine, not a big powerful pinot, really nice fruit, and great balance.
