  Drinking well now, some development to go with the fruit and a little cola

  This wine needs time to open. On first pour the fruit was actually more pronounced and complexity was really not there. IT was hiding. About an hour and a half open this thing is nailing CA Pinot. Color is a bit dusty. Maroon hughes that hold color to the rim so not showing too much age right now. Nose is gun metal and forest floor. Dried blackberry ad strawberry. Palate is consistent with the nose. Touches of mineral oil and basalmic vinnegar accent the palate nicely. Wine is very well balanced. Medium plus acidity. Medium minus tannins. Warm but not too warm. Finish lingers nicely and holds together. Enjoying this as an afternoon stand alone wine and it is working well. YOU HAVE TO LET IT OPEN.

  Again a very delicious drinking pinot, and a great qpr. Nice and taut flavors of raspberries that are a bit less prickly than the last time we tried this. A lot of depth and complexity still here. I am sorry this is our last bottle. It is drinking like a really good cold climate CA pinot.

  Brilliant - agree with the previous gushing reviews. The hit of the evening - served with grilled salmon over lentils with a creme fresh dijon sauce. What a wonderful pairing.

  Similar impressions to bottle from July. Red fruits, earthiness and spice. Really lovely stuff and still stood out even though it was the 4th bottle of the night.
