My favorite Pinot at the moment.. What a great well-rounded wine. Plush body with a dark nose but smooth as velvet mouthfeel. Juicy but structured.. Like belle glos but better.

Bold and spicy, with a medium mouth feel (not as light as your typical Pinot). My namesake! $40 at the vineyard, bought 2!

Big, bold,highly extraced and concentrated, intense red and black fruits, full bodied with moderate grip and acidity, w/ medium plus length. Perhaps a little to big.

Bold and loud for a Pinot noir - not an austere wine at all. Rich black fruit, candied prunes, some tobacco and leather. Perfect match with the crispy charred bits on a roast chicken. Drinking very nice right now, can continue to age.

Good fruit and minerality. Well rounded and a nice finish.

Medium + bodied pinot note. You can taste something floral, possible wild flavor. Easy on the acidity, good amount of cherry flavors.
