Last bottle of this, tasted over two days. The previous bottle showed more age than this. Tart red berry and umami-driven bouquet. Texturally intriguing, notably layered. Poised and expressive finish. This bottle had at least another decade of life, perhaps two.

Elegant and poised. The wine has entered into its early adulthood, showing secondary and hinting at tertiary nuance. Acid shows no sign of quitting and thus further development is likely.

Wow! Pretty perfume of red berries and flowers. Vivacious, structured, and very smooth. Appealing texture, superb balance, utterly delicious. Great value! 91-92.

Crazy value here. Vinsant said "crunchy red fruit" and that is the perfect descriptor to me. The fruit is tart and tangy but there is a great acidic edge that makes it crunchy, followed by earth, forest floor and bright fruit and acid structure. Wish i had a case of this.

Opened over 90 minutes....medium body and a short finish. Good balance and should last a few years....

Considerable appeal, power, and verve, particularly for the price point. Excellent structure, texture, and weight. Generous mouthfeel, tantalizing finish. Serious wine!

Very good red dinner wine. Brightly structured and juicy with sour cherry and other bright red fruits tagged by a bit of darkness on the way out.

Really nice value pinot. Ripe red berries, some smoke and coco dust with some stems. Easy mouthfeel and was nice with a meat and cheese plate.

Got this for $9 and was pleasantly surprised. Crunchy red fruit, green herbs, a little dirt, and a citrus note. Tastes like a nice Gamay
