A worthy single-varietal, distinctive, earthy, and complex. Dark cherries, plums, a touch of spice, and a racy acidity. The attractive, interesting cousin of pinot noir. Great drinking and another point or two over the next 10+ years.

Clear violet with a nose of dried plums. Eventually opened into a delicious and distinctive pinot variant. Dark cherries and plums, with fine tannins and a persistent finish. A nice wine with a leaner mouthfeel than a typical California pinot noir.

Burgundy color with a non-descript vaguely fruity bouquet and flavor and with little resemblance to its cousin Pinot Noir. Not unpleasant, just boring, with no need for further description.
