I still rate this as a very nicely balanced pinot. It has aged well and even though it shows it is near the end of it's drinking window, it still has some legs in it. Has red fruit and currant with a nice oak finish and a bit of tobaco. Wish I had more in stock.

earth and soil driven nose, which is very attractive, but there is still a bit too much sweetness or lack of tannin to fully win me over.I love the flavors, but the texture was a bit of a let down. Gets even sweeter over a few days in the decanter. Still a good bargain and a nice wine, but not as firm as I remember at the tasting room- I think all those bubbles skewed my judgment!.

A little disappointing after the tasting at the winery. Better as the bottle opened, but a little flat.
