Tremendous Pinot, plenty of strong flavors for this balanced medium body. Spicy notes and subtle cherry flavor, along with a cedar filled bouquet. Very impressed for a 2012, hard vintage year for sure. I'm a big fan of the branding as well, classic but eye catching nonetheless.

Not for me but I can see how someone could get into this wine. Its very very toasty with burnt up cedar. Im getting more flavors of various types of wood than types of fruit in this wine.
