Wonderful wine.. if you are expecting a light medium pinot you will be disappointed... this is a full body Pinot with great dark fruit. It took 15 minutes or more to open up but was wonderful.

Dark, cloudy magenta-red. Strawberry, oak, and spice on the nose. Medium bodied, cranberries, slightly tart cherries, red licorice, dusty tannins, and a medium + finish. Good, but relatively simple.

Terrific, and wow, for whatever reason (was it the deeply discounted price) unexpectedly so. Dusty, earthy, dark cherry yes. Also some appealing bitterness on the palate; and herbal - menthol maybe? - on the nose. I lack the background to evaluate oakville72's Burgundy comparison; but it registers as "serious". IMO a fine CA pinot at the $40 list price, and simply redonkulous at $13ish. Just down the road from its QPR neighbor, the Berserkerday Hein Syrah; and all the way across town from Domaine de Monts Luisants "Les Monts Luisants".

Fruit forward nose on the pour that mutes throughout its airation. Dark cherry flavor with a smooth finish ends with a hint of vanilla. Very nice wine
