Delicious fragrance, a basket of fruit (strawberry, rosehip, yellow fruits too), crisp, undergrowth, minerals, creamy roundness, grippy tannins provide a nice counterpoint, excellent aromatic length, hint of nuts. A wine of finesse, some slate, a bit Ahr-like. Yum.

Light ruby red in color. Nice pinot nose of cherry, spice and a bit of oaky vanilla. Good acidity, cherry, strawberry, plum and some black raspberry on the palate. A little bit of heat on the nose and palate. A hint of green tannins on the finish, not too complex, and a bit too much oak, but good for $16. Went well with some local Kasilof River red salmon.

Mighty Mike Pours some wines: Light ruby color. Very nice rasberry, cherry, pinot nose. Nice fruit, full of that sweet 'n sour mix. Extremely impressed for the price. This is one of the few good pinot quaffers I've come across.

Medium body, nice range of fruit with cherry, strawberry, predominating. Label claims lots of plum, but I thought it more intense - stewed prunes in the best possible way - clearly a dominant flavor that really liked. Nice floral tones, although I can't find the claimed "violet." A zing of spice, moderate tannins with a nice mouth feel. An excellent wine, especially for the price. Will look for more.

Smooth but uninspiring. Very little fruit on display.
