JYS makes the best point about this wine. I believe this is an extremely variety correct version of Pinot from Eola Amity Hills. Tart cherry, black cherry cola, basil, raspberry licorice. Not an overbearing amount of black pepper on the finish, but just enough to make it the great pairing with dark chocolate that has been baked with herbs de Provence almonds. I have had a couple of Pinot from Cristom in the past, and none of them have been remotely as enjoyable compared to this one. Enjoyed from a 375, I think this one already had integrated a little bit and was really quite ready to go out of the gate.

Notes of black cherry, stone, and wet-forest floor. Tannins are medium-plus with a powder quality. Acidity is medium/medium-plus. Body is medium-plus. Overall, its a pleasant Pinot.

Tasted this wine at the Maximilian Riedel Wine Experience at Marina Bay Sands hosted by Cellarmaster Wines.
Beautiful red fruit with cherries and strawberries. A touch of spice, followed by vanilla, chocolate, with soft juicy tannins. Towards the finish the spice showed up again.
A very interesting and complex wine.

Cherry, earthy. Seems like a good example of WV PN. Mmm.
