  Seems even fleshier now. Rich with cherry fruit, buoyed by great acidity, with a nice earthy finish. So good.

  A nice midweek wine. Not sure if syrah was added, but notes of dark fruit and spice with a spicey finish. Not exacrly pinot noirish but still good.

  A nice improvement from the '17 and back to being more faithful to what this bottling typically delivers. Lip-smacking, tangy cherry, solid acidity and some earth.

  This was disappointing as the producer has a decent reputation for delivering solid value at minimum. Whatever the merits of this cuvee they were overshadowed by a metallic aftertaste. Not flawed but not attractive. Take that away and this might be a pretty serviceable low cost PN with a convenient screw cap. 13.5% alc.
