Medium ruby color. Muted aromas of raspberry and mint. The palate is textured with layers of silky fruit and spice. Lingering finish. Stiff tannin and muted aromas suggests this was opened a bit too early.

This wine is an upscale regional Burgundy at an upscale regional Burgundy price. I want it to be more like a good village wine, but it's not. At $30 all in, this is fine for what it is, but that's about it.

No formal TN. This regional '05 blew away all of their village '04's I've tried so far. Guess that's not such a big surprise...Great P/Q, this has never disappointed in a good year.

Delicious pinot fruit, although drifting towards the grapey side of the spectrum - seems to have stuffing for evolution into something more profound. Features a pleasant nose of earth, mushroom, and oak with tart cherry and rose palate.
