  PnP, drank over three hours. On the nose: cranberry, raspberry, a bit of sour cherry, a bit of citrus pith. On the palate: very fine tannins, strong acid backbone, alcohol in check, great texture. Enjoyed, but never showed the complexity I hoped.

  Not one of those pink, thin-bodied pinots. The right texture for me, lots of layered fruit which had time to mature and likely mute some of the tartness and allow more savory notes to show thru. Perfect time to enjoy this 2012 bottle, wish we had more.

  Tasted blind. Herbaceous, red fruit nose. Polished, red fruit, acid, good depth. Sexy, velvety tannin. Great texture. Balanced. Tasty. Still on the upswing. My #3, Group NR WOTN.
