This wine is developing very nicely and I've moved my rating up to 90 points. Agree with the other descriptions. The wine seemed a little thin on opening, but I'm a KB drinker and I attribute this to the style differences. After sitting for a bit, the wine opened nicely with all the flavor descriptors below. It is well balanced and transitioned through the palate nicely.

Dark in color. This is a "large" pinot. Big up front mix of spices and deep, dark fruit. Loads of pepper, clove, cinnamon, purple and red berry fruit. Big tannin, but nicely structured and balanced. A bold, lush pinot that lingers nice and long. - Tasted at Halleck Vineyard Feb 2011
