Community Tasting Note

John Dunlap Likes this wine:

Thursday, August 17, 2017 - Magnum opened in celebration of a friends engagement! Stored in cool/stable cellar since purchase from the winery. Wine not rated for reason noted below.

My table side notes are limited made more difficult by the hosts employing pewter goblets - rather than normal stemware - at this celebration. Ugh! Consequently, any nuance of the wine is pretty much lost, but I still garnered a number of positive general impressions that have some merit.

Cork tight and intact. Color excellent. Anticipated a slightly "lighter" profile as this producer focuses more on subtly than extraction. Yet, it was a solid Pinot Noir with reasonable weight capable of aging five or more years in a 1.5l format. Nice dry cherry flavors. Tannins were well integrated. Overall, a refined wine with good profile and balance. Enjoyed by all. Very nice.
