nose - violets or other flowers, a bit of that forest floor smell, smells like a pinot mouth - light to mid bodied and drinking quite smooth. Light red fruits, but very restrained. Good acidity and provides good palate cleansing functio. I actually thought it went better with the dinner than some of the more fruity pinots that in themselves I wound up liking better (such as the Breggo 2006 Donnoelly Creek Vineyard - mind you at 5x the price of this one). This is an understated, pleasant, and varietally correct pinot at under $10. Bravo.
