This was fine, but not terribly impressive. Brown-tinged and murky, with a musty but not unpleasant nose. More subdued, and the better for it, than the younger DuMOL Pinots I've had recently. But definitely a ripe, new world style that, to my palate, does not tell much of a story.

Lush, rich and yet very well balanced. Rich cherry nose and palate that lingered on and on. A nice refreshing acidity helped the wine hold its own with a mild chicken curry.

Fresh fruit on nose and palate. Still surprisingly backward with slightly awkward tannins, I'd give this another few years but htink it might have interesting upside. Raspberry and red cherry flavors with traces of baking spice. Good acidity as well so I don't think this will fall apart any time soon.

Held up very well, Hints of Dark fruit, well balanced, raspberry, light strawberry, bark, bit of cigar smoke, medium acid, medium to long finish.
