It stormed out of the gates with aromas of strawberry and pink peppercorn. Wow, what a statement! And then the performance mellowed - coy about revealing more, especially on the palate. Eventually, air did coax out beautiful floral, white pepper, clove, plum, and even tea aromas. The palate however was as stubborn as a mule, offering just bright cherries and sometimes blackberries, on a silky light-to-medium body. As easy as this was to drink, you'd be as foolish as we were not to give it enough time to reveal all it's facades. An impressively complex wine from an underrated variety. — 3 years ago
Great lunch wine! Fruity and easy drinking but still nice structure and acidity — 4 years ago
Dark fruit, spices, leathery and earthy flavors all blended into this great bottle of wine. — 9 months ago
Fabulous nose. Plum and Honey suckle. Mule berry mouth feel, smooth early. Nice earth tones with fruit late. Leather late which accentuates the Pinot Noir grape to its fullest. Perfect with a grilled Delmonico. — a year ago
