The Fifth Annual Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir: Retail $25. Beautiful translucent ruby, wonderful fruit on the nose, close to a black cherry kool-aid, along with earth and mineral notes. Quite dry and fruity, great depth, really fantastic. 95.

Nice nose, super silky tannins with medium body and a dark fruit mouthfeel that you don’t want to swallow. Some nice earthiness as well, but only a medium but smooth finish

Wonderful wine that opened up after half an hour. Mouth coating tannins, lots of fruit and chocolate, very long finish.
