Excellent Pinot once it opens. Pop it day before, give it plenty of air, and you'll be rewarded for your patience.

Beautiful dark red, aromas of cherry, black currant, pepper and leather. Amazing Pinot- smooth with a dry finish.

Nice full bodied Pinot for the price point. It does take time to open up a bit.

It will be better in 2 years, but if we aren't drinking merlot, we'll be drinking this.
