Popped and let sit for 30 minutes. Fragrant nose. Very weighty on the palate. Full of fruit and well integrated. Would drink now if you like primary fruit notes.

Very hedonistic for a pinot. Could be tighter for my tastes. The fruit is big and upfront both on the palate and in the nose, unfortunately the profile is a little monodimensional. Ripe cherry on the nose- the mouth followed suit, but with the impression of sucrosity which didn't jive; not enough acidity to hold it up. A good wine, smooth drinking and enjoyable, just too straightforward.

A little too much heat. Herbaceous, chemical like nose. Tobacco, spice, musk. Fairly big wine, but yummy.

AMERICAN PINOT NOIRS VS. RED BURGUNDIES (Vin Vino Wine, Palo Alto CA): Dark in color
Clove, fruit and stemmy nose.
Big rich flavors.
