  Day 1: Maybe the most underrated Pinot on Cellar Tracker. The 87-point average is going way up. First of all love the Diam 5 cork. Funk, spice, strawberry, raspberries, smoke, minerals, forest floor and burnt toast. Complex overload here. This is for sure top 10 wines of the year material. Reminds me a lot of the 2007 White Rose from St. Innocent that my Minneapolis Crew made famous after the "critics" paned it. 94 points
  Day 2: Funk, cherry, strawberry, minerals, earth, forest floor, mushrooms and burnt toast. Without a doubt the best Pinot for $25 I have tasted in over a decade. Should have bought more! 95 points
  Recommendation: Find this and buy it if you like Burgundian Pinot Style without the $100 plus price.
  Diam 5 closure. Everyone go to the Diam closures.

  Fruity - I taste licorice. Could be served slightly chilled perhaps?
