Aromas of dark cherry and light oak. Initial burst of acidity on the tongue, like that of cherry coke, then come intense dark cherry flavors mixed in with a little pepper and earth. Flavors continue all the through the finish. ($23)

Really enjoyed this one. Elegant and firm with great balance of medium dark red fruits and spice and underbrush. My kind of PN. Drinking well, but better with some air rounds it out. A pleasant surprise. Much better than the 04 from what I recall. Drink with decant or hold for several years.

Nice light cherry fruit that is opening up well, it complimented my pasta and chicken dish ... it's a nice wine that is served very well with food. It would be a bit too thin just to drink .. it needs to use this buoyant minerality to lift up a good chicken or pasta dish. I could also see it doing well with smoked salmon.

Decanted for about a half hour and had a glass. It didnt really show that well. After about two more hours in the decanter, this wine actually really started to show. Really bright fruit after the bottle opened up a little bit.
