My long experience tasting and reading everything I can about Pinot Noir tells me this is one of those Pinot's that got sunburned by having too much sun penetrating the canopy. It tasted of charcoal and burning leaves. Sure some of that flavor comes from oak, but my palate is not giving total appreciation. There is lots of vanilla and lanolin on the nose with a hint of red raspberry. Barely medium bodied. With more air, the oak becomes more prevalent. Some redeeming secondary flavors like wet leather and red licorice.

A good pinot noir that improves with aeration. Not full bodied.
