Intense black-red color. Muted nose of red fruit and some earth. Fruit seems to be fading and the wine is loosing balance. Still a decent drink but it won't last long.

Popped and poured. Deep red-purple color. Fresh pinot fruit, some oak, dried herbs, and earth on the nose. Ripe fruit, tannins and acidity are beautifully balanced on the palate. Seems to be drinking at peak right now.

Popped and poured. Good deep ruby with some lightness at the rim. Big nose of beets, baking spice, cherries, and green tea. Ripe, full and mouth-filling with a slightly tart finish. This has been my go-to pinot for more than one year now and I'm surprised that this is my first full review. It's a lovely bottle but appears to be entering its downward slide. I have not noticed the acidity in the finish until now. Still, it's a plush pinot loaded with fruit that avoids a jammy impression.

No notes. I remember it being another delicious, up-front pinot. A steal for the price.
