  Deep concentrated color and perfectly clear.
  
  Nose is cherries, rhubarb, touch of cola, and clean earth.
  
  Palate is round and juicy and confirms nose. Incredibly profound, integrated and balanced. Mouth coating mid palate with welcome minerality.
  
  One of my favorite Pinots so far this year. I immediately started shopping for more. If I had tasted this blind, it would have fooled me easily. It's just so Burgundian.

  This is nice. Quite complex. Red fruit, floral. Some forest notes. Somewhat short finish is the only mild gripe. Feels like it will be better in a few years, which is a shame as this is my last bottle. Have stoppered and will revisit tomorrow.

  Absolutely a gem of a red wine. Blackcurrants, strawberry jam, hay. Usually I decant, but drank this straight from the bottle. Good qpr as well and a very good rival to much more expensive Burgundy wines.

  Notes of cocoa powder, pure fruit, lean, notes of cherries, chiseled acidic backbone and taut tannins.
