Pretty good for $30 Pinot. Fleshier than average Bourgogne in this range but less than CA, closer to Willamette than anything else. Definitely like this better than the Maison L’Envoye Willamette Pinot.

Tasted after 1 hour of air. Medium garnet color. Some herbal notes on the nose. Sweet cherries. Some acid kicks in on the mid palate and provides nice balance. Nice easy going finish. Tasted this blind along two Oregon Pinots. I was not able to pick out the black sheep. A nice effort.

Wonderful introduction to Central Otago pinot noir. Dark cherry, black plum, tobacco, mushroom, earth. Balanced and dry. Will definitely buy again.

And fresh and lively. For $25 it works it out. And 50% whole cluster.
