Delicious ripe strawberry, raspberry, dark cherry, vibrant acid, but a round and plush mouthfeel. Texturally a study in contrast. The slight bite of the acid plays very nicely against the rich palate. Exceptional decanted at 20-30 minutes — give it some time to breathe and wow. Great stuff from one of our favorite producers.

Exceptional small production, Goldilocks vintage, 2012. Full palette, significance of soil, layers of flavors roll throughout. Delightful stink of the barnyard so to speak. Loved it.

Nose of French vanilla, mocha and toffee mingles with notes of blackberry and plum. A luscious, concentrated body yields bright acidity and flavors of baking spice and peppercorn. The finish is supported by big, smooth tannins and a persistent finish.

Decanted 2008 1-1/2 hours. Very soft balanced Pinot with exceptional red fruit, especially a lovely red raspberry palate, balance, structure, & finesse. Well done Isabelle @depontecellars

Love this wine and it is drinking at its best right now. I do agree that it seems lighter then 14.2%. Very well balanced.

So much fruit left. Integrated and balanced, seems lighter than 14.2%
