This one has changed over the past year. Color is light burgundy with flashes of ruby tint. Fruit takes a backseat to a very mellow barnyard nose. Lemon peel, peppermint, marshmallow and heated butterscotch come through with a fascinating array of aromas. Although it retains classic Pinot red fruit scents. The tannins have certainly calmed down but persist. Spicy mouthfeel rises to a midpalate that fizzles quickly with barely a finish. Overall an interesting evolution. I am wondering if this is what Mssr. Jordan intended?

Floral nose, with strawberry and toast notes. Ripe and supple strawberry and sweet red cherry, with an acidic backbone, where the flavors persist. No denying that this is styled and pretty, even if it is not especially deep.

Medium bodied red with hints of raspberry and strawberry. Easy drinking wine that is well balanced and decent finish. Nice bottle.

Fantastic pinot. Very nicely balanced with nice long finish. Big fruit and full bodied.

Pinot Days 2010 (Navy Pier - Chicago, IL): Musty and spicy. Didn't love it. No balance. Dissapointing.
