Smokey, very light & thin for an ‘09. Sadly, a skippable Pinot.

Very Good for an Entry Level Pinot Noir. Correction: this is Not Entry Level being $120 per bottle. Just a different and equally good cuvée to Angel Flower.

Red fruit with touch of brown sugar & tons of dry earth & rocks. Reminiscent of old world pn with its brambly nature. Delicious!

Vibrant strawberry and cherry notes, roses, young leaf. Ripe nose but delicate palate.

Reticent to start but then delivers in spades. So wild and free from shackles of the norm. Beautiful glass of wine that grows and grows. Appears younger than it is
