Opened for salmon, quinoa and kale. Light ruby and body clear to rim. Toasty oaky nose with cherry. Light bodied at 12.9%, showing some nice secondary notes of plum. Nice fuzzy pinot musk, raisin, oak. Solid and lighter style which is a nice change of pace.

Oaky aromas with strawberry and Oregonian pinot terrior. This seemed a bit oxidized, monolithic and flabby at open with some Burgundian pinot elements. Strong oak and black fruit flavors as well. Day 5+ under vac-u-vin show a highly neutralized wine, tasting light, with some fruit and few if any noticable pinot qualities. Smooth tannins.

Thin and relatively insipid. Consistent with prior note, although the palate has thinned out and become even less distinctive. Not much beyond the oak.

A good pinot, but not a lot of depth left. Very feminine, some oak and light berries. Drink now.
