This bottle was disjointed with high acid and more heat perceived, not a lot of fruit and somewhat heavy with some tannins. Not a good showing. Needs food.

Nice aged pinot, a bit off balance with some heat. This is full bodied but with nice acidity and even a tad savory (as opposed to sweet). Some mushroom and forest floor notes.

Brought to a picnic, big hit. Showing consistent with last summer's bottle, this is showing rather young, vibrantly. Red and black berries, Asian spices, some plum and red floral. Heat and acids are off, making this a bit more disjointed than it should be. Medium+ body, med-low acids, medium finish. Nothing special for me, but the unwashed masses loved it. 14,0% abv, B

Consistent notes. Very solid for the $21 I paid, but not getting any better either. Drink these while you're waiting for the 1er and GC's to age. 14,0% abv.

Nice balanced PN. Has good red acidity to balance the sweetness in scent and early taste. Works well with char-grilled duck.
