Good solid pinot. Fruit dominates. Decent mid palate, but disappointed with the finish (short). Agree with other reviews that this MAY improve with time, but not sure it will ever come together (integrate) completely.

Needs more time in the bottle - heavily dominated by primary fruit flavors now, but has potential. Rich raspberry and cherry jam, deep berry on the palate. Would love to see this after another 2-3 years in the bottle when the fruit tames a bit -- I think it will have enough acidity to carry it.

Tastes a bit young and unintegrated. Floral potpourri nose accented by oak. Nice fruit and acidity with a spicy finish. Has tasty elements, but the components need better integration. Perhaps some age will help.

Drinking very nicely now. Aged qualities on the nose and palate. Beautiful silky texture and rich fruit come together nicely.
