Probably the biggest Pinot I've ever had. Dense, rich, and concentrated. I would have preferred a little more nuance and complexity, but still a sledgehammer of a wine that stands very well on its own.

Nose has pomegranate juice, baking spices. Palate has a seemingly "sweet" onset, but in truth it's balanced, smooth, luxurious. A touch juicy, and kirschy, and seemingly concentrated, but it is still mobile across the palate.

Wow, what a difference a couple years has made. Last time I had this wine, it was a sappy fruitcake; almost unenjoyable. I guess it just needed time to integrate. Enjoyed for Thanksgiving dinner and surprisingly it was tied for WOTN. Still very fruity, but the dark berry flavors are now more tolerable. With Turkey and cranberry tonight, it was a great pairing.

Still a big pinot but softened with some air. Great nose. Vibrant acid nice finish. Still some fruit showing. Yummy!!

Paired with grilled salmon. Strong cherry flavors and well integrated.
