Cocoa powder, pine needles, earth, raspberry, a little orange peel, cola, black cherry, red cherry, and smoke on the nose. Red and black cherry, orange, earth, a little plum, alcohol spice, and a bit of wood on the finish. Tangy acidity, smooth and well integrated tannins, and a medium-long finish. A bit of warmth on the finish. Delicious. Very supple and easy to drink (half a bottle later). I just wish the alcohol wasn't as noticeable.

I was impatient with this. Should have waited. Now starting to enter secondary stage,but still end of primary. Great finish, very long, fruit still bright reds but starting to get to darker reds. I had a case of this and have only one left, but wish I had left the whole case to start now. This will be easily a 10 year wine, maybe more. Would love to taste it 10 years from now. See how it evolves.

Absolutely lovely bottle of wine. Very feminine and high-toned. Deliciious with only a little tannins on the back end. Almost as good the second day so may have another year on it. Superb pinot. Wish I had more, much more.

Nicely balanced with excellent rich fruit and a soft finish. Outstanding PN. Probably at its peak now.
