2009 was a great vintage and I thought this wine would be a no brainer but unfortunately it was uninspired and a bit disjointed. Color was a brick garnet. More alcohol than fruit on the nose. Medium light body that was acidic alcohol with faint fruit and finished the same. Slow legs. I thought after several hours it softened some but didn't change as much as I had hoped for.

good wine. balanced. It should be open one hour earlier. This very well with cooked fish with olives and vegetables. I would buy it again The wine looks ruby colored. There is no sediment in the bottle. It tastes like cherry and peach. The body is light/medium. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

Needed to open up. Took about 45 minutes to settle down. Not bad. Not exquisite, but certainly drinkable. Wanted to try an affordable Burgundy but much prefer the American Pinot's from Northern CA and Oregon to this...

Strawberries, cherries and plums. Quite nice with lasagna.

Summer berries with earthy and mineral notes. Light to medium bodied with nice acidity. Quite enjoyable.
