I continue to struggle with this wine. Very nice out of the bottle, but fairly quickly it got to being dominated by cherry fruit and little acid or tannins to support.

Popped and left open an hour, and paired with mushroom Bourgogne over polenta. Pale Ruby, no sediment or bricking. Nose is tight. Palate is sort of thin, light-bodied, with red cherry and leather. Unlike most RRV Pinot in terms of the balance of fruit and acidity trends toward acidity, which made this pair well with the food. Really liked.

Tight and acidic at first opening. Presented better after 1 hour decant but still limited flavor at mid palate. Nice light burgundy color. Rather bland nose and mouth feel. Not one of Gary Farrell's best.

Popped and poured. Very tart. Did settle a little after a while but not my favorite Gary Farrell from the '14 vintage.
