Bright clean, slightly strawberry juice young pinot, a bit dilute, with an edge of oak. Lacks the succulence and weight that makes 2009 stand out as a vintage. Drink up over the next 4 years.
I like it for what it is, but there are many old and new world pinots that are better value.

Clear garnet. Nose of dust, black cherry, vanilla, and mint. Medium palate of tart cherry, plum, minerals, vanilla, and licorice on the finish. Excellent length. Pleasant acidity. Likely to get better with a few years in the cellar.

Soft and gently earthy nose with touches of Volnay violets, with a medium weight palate which is short but pleasant and uncomplicated drinking.
