  Cloudy ruby center with bricking at rim. Fabulous nose with red raspberry, red cherry, cinnamon, mushroom, a whiff of dill and orchids. The palate explodes with tart raspberry, cranberry, earth, cinnamon, and spice. Light-bodied with vibrant acidity and a long, pure finish. Refreshing. Overall, this is my favorite style of pinot noir - ethereal but with great fruit intensity that highlights red fruits.

  Less than an hour in the decanter. Light ruby red. The nose is a mix of exotic spices and earth-laden red fruit. Very pretty & pleasant to smell. Just a nearly perfect weight here. This opens medium bodied, elegant and graceful and never changes ( a very good thing in this case, as this is a lovely expression of Pinot Noir). The issue I run into here is the fruit & oak combo are seriously sweet. Big red ripe strawberries & sweet cherries here. High levels of acidity & ever present oak make me think this has a ways to go, but the tannins are largely resolved. Better with a chicken parm & marinara. Good length.
  
  Kind of a frustrating bottle as there is a lot to like, but a lot of distraction too.
