Poured via Coravin about 30 minutes prior to drinking. Relatively light in color with some brick edge and bittiness. Cherry flowersand a little fresh thyme; a little lactic funk, with a slight chalky impression on the nose. Juicy, with a relatively dense mouthfeel, could be past its best but still very enjoyable, with a vibrant summation of a finish.. Will pour it with some fried chicken tonight.

PnP w/15 minutes glass time. Clear, med ruby color. Thin nose but this wine showed far better than expected. Great balance and integration, soft, med body, plenty of fruit, good acid, fine clean finish. Perfect drinking window. Super value, $22.

- Crimsom color. It's lacking fruit with a light/medium body. Linear texture with a medium finish - Thin, plenty of acidity. Perfectly adequate as a decent Pinot. Prefer it to many jammy kiwi efforts, but it lacks a bit of depth. Fell a long way short of a Maycas Limari reserva especial which preceded it. Tough crowd here. Lightest hint of strawberry if you look for it.

Better than average, disappointing given age and provenance.

Heavy on the funk. Did I just say that? Light body with not a lot of complexity. Definitely forgetable. Did I mention the funk? =0)
