Retail $45. Heavy Bottle (627g; 1lb 6.1oz). I first tasted this for the Sixth Annual Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir and it was off. And that is being kind. I did not rate the wine at the time since I figured that what I tasted was not what the winemaker intended. I think I was right as this bottle? Pretty close to gangbusters. Wonderful dark elements along with bright cherry on the nose, and plenty of fruit, spice, earth, and even chutzpah on the palate. Yeah. Either that first bottle was off or it just needed some time to settle down, because this wine? Whoa. 93 Points.

Funky nose of earth and acetate with berries. Delicious palette of dry berries, leather, and thin finish. Very drinkable.

The Sixth Annual Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir (Houston, Texas): Retail $45. This is really offensive on the nose, a funky acetate. Holy cow it is really difficult to smell. The palate is actually, well, palatable, but it is hard to get past that nose. Flawed?
