Ripe, expressive sour cherry fruit, unusually concentrated for a Pinot Noir with a finish that goes on for a minute. Silky smooth tannins after a 30 minute decant. I tend to enjoy big, concentrated wines and this is a bullseye.

Once again this is a solid and large modern Pinot Noir. Tonight this wine could pose as a Meritage blend if you didn't look at the label. Viscous fruit forward and modern. Starts with blackberry and quickly morphs to ripe strawberry and raspberry. Flavors continue with tobacco leaf, bay leaf and sweet prune. Finish is balanced with acidity & tannin being in check and allowing a long lingering flavor of the juice. A great wine worth having now.
This wine is built to age. Hold off opening these puppies until the reach maturity in 5-10 years.

Solid and large modern Pinot Noir. One of the more forward expressions of the fruit. There is strawberry and bing cherry that is held down by a backbone of tannin and great acidic presence.
