Fruity nose, but very tight (very astringent) when opened. After about three hours, it was a pleasant, fruit-driven pinot. Not terribly complex and a fair amount of alcohol-induced sweetness, but easy drinking.

Wow. Tannins are nicely resolved and this is drinking great. Opens with very pure red cherry, pomegranate and a bit of sweet floral note. Then over several hours of slow ox it started to get darker showing framboise, turned earth, rhubarb and some tart raspberry/cherry notes. Drink up.

(A-) Way better than I remember at the winery. Wild strawberries, wet clay, and a tiny bit of soy. Well balanced. Grips the front palate, and glides down from there.

This bottle plain rocked. Great acidity, spice and fruit. Well integrated at this point. Second half of bottle being held overnight.

Beautiful pinot. Earthiness, cherries, and pencil on the palate. Medium body. Glad I bought half a case of this.
