A personal favorite. Enthralling aromatics. Bright and zesty. Olives galore. 13.9% abv.
Happy to have several more bottles. No rush. — a month ago
Nice nose but very tight:closed. Hugh perceived acid. Pleasant but not great. — 2 days ago
Not as big of a Pinot as many other Tens have been from other vintages. Still medium full palate but less big fruit, more subtle layers of cherry complimented by an herbal savory character. If you like fruit, drink up. — 24 days ago

I’d say these wines are overrated. Second of the 2012’s I picked up. Dark fruit, supple but not that interesting. — 2 months ago
