Opened this at a small gathering in our backyard. This went super with my wife's fantastic, perfectly prepared and seasoned Atlantic Salmon. New world Pinot done the right way. Yes, it's rich and ripe and full-bodied. Not a lot of complexity here, just pure, hedonistic and pleasurable Pinot. Not too sweet, not too oaky. Perhaps could've used a touch more acidity, but was pretty well balanced. Everyone loved this.

Another great effort by KB. A bold PN, as noted by at least one taster, with concentrated dark fruit, tart black cherry, black raspberry, a bit of spice with soft tannins. Paired well with grilled trout.

Not sure what other CellarTracker members are tasting but this is a world class Pinot Noir that is fruit forward with rich cherry, strawberry fruit and a hint of spice on the finish. Full mouth feel along with a long finish makes this a terrific wine.

You often hear wines described as beautiful in tasting notes, but I have to use that superlative in this instance. Gorgeous red fruit, strawberry, red raspberry and a touch of cherry. The appearance is flawless with incredible color and clear rim. It is elegant and just a joy to drink. Impeccable and bursting with purity.

Nose - red fruit. Strawberry. Raspberry. Sweet vanilla and cassis.
Palate - medium body. Some jam and herbs. Hints of sage. Cherry and raspberry jam. Medium linger. Low tannin but good structure. Almost no acid. And pretty big.

Delicious dark ripe cherry fruit and spice on the nose and palate with silky texture and a long finish.

Very nice, but just a tad past it’s prime, in terms of the flavors being a little less robust than expected.

Flavors and aroma were light. I have had much better pinots.

No formal notes. PNP but better with time in glass so suggest 1-2 hour decant.

Disappointing, tight dark strawberry fruit, very restrained, excellent structure, short finish
