Light, brickish red. Overwhelming nose of spicy cinnamon from new European oak. Fruit is subservient, but overall the impression is appealing if you like lots of oak — and perhaps a little VA — in your Pinot. At 7 years of age, it's still drinking well, held together by, I would guess, the wood tannins. By the second day, however, the fruit is gone, and it's showing some off-flavors. It's been sold cheaply on wtso.com. Has the winery gone out of business?

So different from the 2013. Barely noticeable fruit, more dried cherry than plum or blackberry. Lots of herb flavors, spice and tannins. A nice savory and almost oxidized bouquet.

Really nice all around. Nice nose. Medium body. Good clean finish.

More tertiary than primary. Noticeable bricking, but drinking very well. Seems like premature aging, but not bad. Drink up though! :)

Solid price point wine. Good age, drink now.
