  Comparing with a Wrath clone mix, Dijon is heavier and smoother, and maybe that's what is referred to as French. Both Wrath and Scott are from vineyards in the Monterey AVAs, similar soils and climate. Both fine wines. I will keep a supply of both.

  Coming out of the bottle, something in me expected the lightness in color simply from the region, however I was pleasantly surprised upon tasting! This wine has a gorgeous garnet color with bright clarity. Heavier bodied for a pinot noir, the aromas were pleasant and vibrant boasting dark berries and plum with the oak aging made apparent. After tasting, there is high acidity from the higher alcohol content leaving your gums tingling for more. With deeper berry flavors like fresh summer blackberries and a fresh stoniness in the finish, this one was a win for me. Linear and complete, reminds me of French style pinots.

  Medium light cherry cola extracted color, with a reticent strawberry aroma that intensifies with warming to room temperature.
  The mouthfeel is of a medium viscosity, silky smooth, and well balanced with harmony of acidity and peripheral tannins, supporting sweet red Strawberry fruit giving way to a dusty cherry on the finish, that even when cold (50 degree Fahrenheit natural cellar tonight), is velvety and much lighter and brighter than the Monterey etiology and 14.5% alcohol level would imply.
  This is an elegant and very pretty wine, quite delicate yet definitive in its varietal identity, more French than most California or Oregon expressions we have enjoyed. Like sunshine on the palate. Expect the price point to increase.
