Opened, decanted and rested two hours before first tastes. Darker with more body than many California examples of this varietal. This has faded. Cherry fruits still present give way quickly to blurry herbs. Finish dominated by woody notes. Tannins lengthen the time between sips. Some fruit still present on the nose. I'd call it pomegranates.

I certainly agree with CTotten that the drinkability window of this is too short. Excellent bouquet, clear Pinot color and noe and smooth as a baby's lips.

This was decent. It was a little sweet and jammy, and reminded me more of a zinfandel than a Pinot noir.

Big nose with plum and strawberries. It is smooth and has a nice mouthful. A little sweet.

Importer tasting (@ PA): Concentrated wine. Ripe dark forest fruits. Supple. Firm amount of alcohol.
