Nearly five years after last tasting, this big red is sleek and refined. A clear gleaming ruby, with an expressive nose of asian tea and bright red fruits. Elegant and velvet smooth, long and lingering, this has aged well and has plently of life left in the bottle. The relativly high alcohol level is well covered and the overall balance is impressive. Improved with time.

Good spice, berry taste. Longer finish than some other Pinots from this winery. Reminiscent of a Chambertin. Holds its own with higher priced competitors very well.

Too overdone and high in alcohol.

fantastic. vanilla, raspberry and blueberry with just enough sweetness. High alcohol content does not overwhelm...balanced.
