Screw top, drop top. Initially came across a bit awkward but smoothed our after about 20 minutes in the glass. Ripe red berries. Definitely on the bolder end of the PN spectrum but seemed varietally correct. Thanks Tom!

Medium amount of fruit in the nose, thought I had a faint hint of strawberry and even some leather. Better over time and would recommend decanting. Thought the alcohol was still too high but smooth finish nonetheless.

Really fruity and delicious. Smooth mouthfeel and mild tannins, yet enough to age a couple more years. Wonderful nose in a big bowl.

Great wine for the price and for a Monday night wine. Bright strawberry and cherry flavors. A hint of forest floor and a touch of oak. Easy drinking overall.

Nice balance all around. Definitely more towards my style of Pinot. Brighter red fruits with a hint of funk and oak.
