I must have hit this wine in a sweet spot. It was much better than my last tasting almost three years ago. Still deep color in the bowl and orange red on the rim. Blackberries, licorice, and floral in the nose. Deep berry fruit in the flavor with black currants and blackberries with notes of earthiness. Full bodied, very well balanced and more complex than our previous bottle. What really stood out was the fantastic mouthfeel and texture and the medium to long silky finish. This was a surprise and a perfect match with thick grilled pork chops. 95/96

Deep color. Black cherries, blackberries, and licorice in the nose and flavor with a hint of floral. Pretty bog wine with nice complexity and a medium to long finish.

Decanted for an hour which took the slight wet rock/moss smell away. What a gorgeous wine! Nose comes at you in waves of a hint of earth, immediately followed by bright red raspberries, and then some oak and licorice. Body is big for a Pinot! What little tannins are there, they’re Integrated and the slight acidity gives an edge to an otherwise silky wine. Rich red berries, with spices on a long, long finish. Hiting its stride for sure!

Outstanding! Would be good for another 2-3 years at least. Elegant, fruit forward Pinot - totally all that and a bag of chips!

A different Pinot Noir. Excellent. Darker color than most. Heavier texture.
