Not sure I like this. In fact pretty sure I don’t. Tastes like thos syrupy cali or oregon pinots completely lacking tannin and structure that I dislike. Letting it breathe but I doubt my opinion is going to change.

Drank quickly at home. Bright, forward red and blue fruit along with vanilla and spice on the nose and palate. Nice creamy texture. One dimensional, but very nice at this level.

Very enjoyable village. Ripe, sweet red and black fruits. Some spice. Dense nose and palate. Medium finish. Rich, round and easy. Drink now or hold for a few more years.

This is such a stellar wine Deep ruby red, bordering on a ligter purple Waves of spiced, flowery, pinot fruit in the nose. Lavender, thyme, roses. A stunning wine in the mouth--mostly for its tremendous "pinosity"--beutifully concentrated pinot fruit that is perfectly balanced by a gossamer, velvety texture. I'm sure there is some tannin here, but it is well hidden at this point.*
