Yum. This was not a delicate pinot like I had become accustomed to. Spicy and playful, but not as much as a zinfandel. One of the better pinots I've had in a while. Definitely pairs well with a spicy (but not heavy) food.

A lovely wine. Soft fruit with a nice touch of earthiess, both on the nose and in the mouth. Smooth and balanced with enough body to stand up to a good steak. Had the quiet authority of a good burgundy (if you could find one for this price).

Nice funky nose, which I really like. Lots of spicy cherry fruit and that overlay of acid that makes food a must to accompany this wine. Big chunk of sediment in this bottle also.

Since two years ago this seems to have become richer and put on some weight. Also the intensity of aromas have increased. This had lovely cherries, piney underbrush and leathery funk. This was approaching 'wow' status last night and a very pleasant surprise.

Decanted and enjoyed this wine with homemade pizza. Sorry it was my last bottle, it was excellent. Plenty of life left in it.
