Crimson in color. 13.9% ABV. Big nose of ripe red and black fruits, baking spices, earth and flowers. Full bodied with ample acidity. Rich and fruit forward. Black cherry, black raspberry, licorice and spice on the palate. Exceptional length on the finish. Much bigger Pinot Noir that I would have expected. Somewhat atypical but very easy to drink. Best over the next 2-4 years.

A really good wine out of the bottle and just got better within the hour. Lots of cherry - both sweet and tart - along with some raspberry and a bit of chocolate, fresh leather, and a morsel of licorice. A long, long finish, too. This was a total surprise - we knew it would be good but had no expectation that it would be this good.

Good, well made pinot, but without the excitement factor. Not very complex and at about $65US, this is a rip off. Not sure it will improve much, so I'd recommend to enjoy now.

Decent reserve bottle. Not mind blowing. But decent.
Color. Garnet red.
Nose. Cola, dark cherry, grilled meat(faint), lavender,
Palate. Cherries, warming red fruits, a pleasing low level of acidity, mild oak influence. Tastes of being past its prime.
