Nice legs with a very smooth, full mouthfeel. Would concur with other notes here on aroma and flavor, very approachable. The 5 tasters in our group the night we opened this, though feeling the wine was flawless, felt there was no benefit to cellaring any longer. Drink and enjoy.

Blind Pinot Noir: Elegant, vibrant red fruit aromas with lots of rose hips, white pepper and such gorgeous floral complexity. Medium-bodied, so juicy and bright with some moderately grippy tannic structure and lip-smacking acidity. Tart cherries, raspberries, wild strawberry, the fruit is so damned vibrant and delicious, and laced with lots of roses, violets and white mushrooms. Velvety and sporting serious grip, this is also silky and elegant. An exciting Pinot Noir. More tar and cedar on this one (1/3 new oak) but it's woven in expertly. Gorgeous stuff that will improve for four or five years easily.

Many tasters in the group ranked it higher than I did, but I didn't find it exceptional. Certainly a very good "journeyman" wine though.

Full-bodied, broadly forward cocoa notes meld into deep raspberry, hints of tobacco linger. long. delicious and improving
