First of three for me. Typical pinot aromas of red fruits, fresh herbs, cinnamon, orange, black tea, and cedar. Enjoying smelling this. Light to medium body, medium(+) acid and finish, and flavors of high toned red fruits, orange peel, black tea, and lingering spice. This is very enjoyable, and would be perfect for cedar planked salmon off the grill, which might just be the call for the next bottle over the weekend. 90-91

Red fruit, strawberry, herbs. Good perfume with our King Ora New Zealand salmon and not bad with the grilled Atlantic salmon as well. Better than 2 years ago. Good value for $15. Drink now

This has improved noticeably since my prior note from 13 months ago. Not nearly as herbal now. Softer, and showing much more intensity to its tangy strawberry and pomegranate fruit. Finishes very long, with a lingering aftertaste of ripe strawberries, vanilla and a hint of cream. Really delicious and paired perfectly with our broiled lamb chops. 50+5+12+16+7=90

Friendly, a bit light but elegant, hint of caramel, in the finish a bit sharp.
