2009, early on. Was not looking forward to this, but was pleasantly surprised. Not as big a fan of more recent vintages. 14.4 ABV. Deep, dried cherry, a touch of funk, dark berries. Big smile.

2009. Raspberry jam. Heavier style than I typically enjoy from a Pinot Noir.

Pinot in a different guise. Not a 'food-friendly' wine in my opinion (way too much oak) but a nice bottle if you aren't rigid as to what Pinot should be.
