Gift from Mari & Tom for dinner at our house. LJB liked it and said “most Pinot Noirs don’t do much for me.”

Benefits from breathing, or in my case leaving the cork in an open bottle overnight. Rather rich with black and red fruit, nicely in balance once the initial blast of oak passes. Impressive

2011 - Light, tasty, hint of earth, and not too fruity. Reliable..but not a good value at $44.
At $20-25, this would be a go-to reliable Pinot. At this cost, it can't compete with the likes of Foxen's options.

30% new oak for 10 months. Bigger mouth feel. Pairs better with food. Fruitier and easier to drink than drum canyon from same winery. Fuller tannins.
