Day 1: Maybe the most underrated Pinot on Cellar Tracker. The 87-point average is going way up. First of all love the Diam 5 cork. Funk, spice, strawberry, raspberries, smoke, minerals, forest floor and burnt toast. Complex overload here. This is for sure top 10 wines of the year material. Reminds me a lot of the 2007 White Rose from St. Innocent that my Minneapolis Crew made famous after the "critics" paned it. 94 points Day 2: Funk, cherry, strawberry, minerals, earth, forest floor, mushrooms and burnt toast. Without a doubt the best Pinot for $25 I have tasted in over a decade. Should have bought more! 95 points Recommendation: Find this and buy it if you like Burgundian Pinot Style without the $100 plus price. Diam 5 closure. Everyone go to the Diam closures.

No formal notes. Consumed over two days, with decanting. Mainly fruit-driven, but with lots of spices prominent. Throwing off a bit of heat but that dissipated quickly in the glass. Still, a little bit unbalanced, with the fruit and body not quite matching the rather intense spices.

An elegant Pinot at an affordable price. Sleek and sophisticated raspberries, cherries and tea leaves with a touch of cedar. Long and enjoyable finish.

Fruity - I taste licorice. Could be served slightly chilled perhaps?

Raspberry, cherry and some tea but very light so the flavor could be stronger.

This wine is fantastic Lots of bright red fruit and good acid to drink before, during and after dinner.
Floral with raspberry nose, opened very quickly tasting of sweet cherries and apricot(?). Nice long finish
