April 5, 2007 - Moderate ruby core, moving to dusty rose at rim.
Initially a moderate intense nose of mushroom, vegetal, raspberries, blueberries and floral underpinnings - definite Burgundian notes.
On the palate medium plus acidity, med-full body, medium plus intensity with low + soft tannins. Much fruitier on the palate than on the nose (the vegetal and forest notes do not come through). Red cherry lingers.
After a few hours, the interesting Burgundian aromas have disappated and the wine becomes a decent, but very NW Pinot Noir. Bit disappointing after the initial promise...2,926 views
