January 17, 2013 - Again I was expecting more from this wine. Had some decent fruit but lacked complexity I would expect from this world class winery.

July 6, 2012 - Quite nice, medium body, a tad sour- thus better with food than solo. Excellent with our lamb chops for example.

May 29, 2011 - First, this is an extremely un-pinot like pinot noir. It has a merlot-like level of chewiness with notes of strong vanilla and stewed plum/blackberry lightly laced with fine black pepper. It fades relatively quickly but comes back 15 seconds or so with a finish of sweet blackberries and vanilla, which lasts a while. It has the slightest hint of effervescence (which one hopes will fade quickly) that is only apparent upon vigorous agitation of the tongue. (This is really a very un-pinot like pinot noir). Caveat: tried on a Delta flight from Atlanta to London.
