Bought 4b for 14/b from a local independent shop just now; this is #1. No decant, none needed. Dark red; fragrant simple Burgundian nose, some oak; rich fruit, bit of complexity, Burgundian impression (not fruity, not syrah-like), good mouthfeel; some persistence. Held well under vacuvin for 24 hours. Delicious, glad to have more. Stored vertically (screwcap) in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation (see earlier posts for my 4-category, non-point rating system): This is outstanding- when considering quality, age, and price.

I’d only had their Twelve Clones, which I liked. Had never heard of this one, but it was $20 so why not. Pleasantly surprised. Juicy cherry & red fruit. A bit of cola spice. Rich fruit forward Pinot with a good finish. Well done for price.

Very pretty nose. And actually very pretty on the palate.

Generous and plump red fruit palate. A much better wine than I was expecting.
