way too sweet for me. Nose is a bit cloying, but there is some complexity layered in. More acidity and structure than the nose and the vintage would let on. still not good enough.

At first blush, this wine offers abundant enticements: strawberries on the nose, ripe plush fruit on the tongue, a smooth and silky entry. The wine just slips down your throat. And then you have your second glass--which is almost impossible to avoid with this wine--and the lack of depth becomes apparent. It is elegant and delicate, but its lightness is not of the sort to carry the wine past a certain point and the fruit begins, over time, to take a back seat to a little bit of instrusive oakiness, I think. Don't get me wrong: This wine is fine. I think I just got tired of it a bit too quickly.

A simple pinot but true to varietal. Midweight cherries, with some barnyard.

Far tastier then I remember it being as well. It was underwhelming when first open but now, three hours in, seems to be coming into its own.
