Full modern oak driven Pinot. As if to mirror the california method rather than a Burgundian terroir-driven vinification. If you’re a california red enthusiast, this will be a treat. If you’re expecting Burgundy, gift it. This bottle appeared to have heat damage.

Was it a good wine? Yes. Did it taste like your typical Burgundy? Not at all. It's weird to say it but it almost tasted like a California cab. Not in bad way though.

Juicy and lovely, deep and happily not candied '03. Dark dark fruit - blackberry and boysenberry, ripe and sweet. This wine was the biggest surprise of the tasting.

delicious. lithe and silky. opened up and gave forest floor, cherry, plenty of bright fruit and balanced acidity with a long finish. terrific.
