A Rewarding Night with a Generous Winemaker Host (Los Alamos, CA): From a 3-liter. I approached this with no particular expectations. To my palate, simply put this was one of the best Central Coast Pinots I've had. Robust rather than delicate, but the complex flavor palate was restrained in its execution, delivering layers of smoky red berry flavor, some incense and a touch of mushroom. Pepper and spice emerge on the lingering finish. Seemingly in peak form, though no rush whatsoever.

Kräftige Erdbeer-, Himbeernoten, rauchig, florale Töne, etwas Jod; am Gaumen kräftiger Pinot mit fleischigen Noten, feine Tannine, aber im Anschluck etwas "heiß", guter Abgang mit viel Frucht; "New World"-Stil, gerade im Vergleich zum unmittelbar vorher geöffneten Gevrey-Chambertin von Fourrier

Very good wine. Light, complex, elegant. Good acidity and freshness. Almost an old world style of pinot.
