I thought it was an okay Pinot when I first received it, and I had one bottle just sleeping. I decided to drink it and was stunned by the evolution from a good wine to one that's nearly great. It tastes three times what I paid for it. A purist's Pinot. Drinking beautifully now.

Really interesting stuff. So happy I took a flyer on closeout. Smells of cherry, orange peel, cinnamon, and cedar. Also displays these flavors, in addition to wild berry, pomegranate, mineral, and black pepper.
Fairly lightweight and nervy, with a long delicate finish dominated by the spice flavors. Did a PnP, but it didn't sing until about an hour in, so some air is recommended, and I wouldn't hesitate to lay this down for a few years.

Agree with Thomherer's note. Add strawberry rhubarb flavors. Very good pinot, great for the price.

Great value. Tasted next to the 2010 and enjoyed the 2010 more.
