Remarkably pretty crushed strawberry and cherry tones with lifting minerality, hints of rosemary and spice. On the palate, I found silky textures with a mix or red and black fruits, hints of bitter herbs and a bump of brisk acidity. It finished long, lingering on tart black fruits and mineral earth tones.

All kinds of cool-vintage blue/purple berry and tart cranberry fruit, spice, herbaciousness and flower perfume. Understated and delicate but still potent and complex.

Fully mature, peak drinking Pinot, showing some age visually, but striking clarity. Light, but expansive. Dry red and blue fruit up front, lightly funky florals, broad and savory mid-palate, deep, but unobtrusive lingering acid and ancient dried herbs. Really wish this wasn't my last bottle.

3rd place. Called S America or NZ. Alpine needles, tight tannins.

One of four wines with a Kelley Fox dinner in Chicago. Darkest, most seriously colored and biggest wine of the four. A touch of forest floor and autumnal funk balances the dark cherry notes. Yet the wine is at best medium- weight. The acid/fruit balance keeps the wine light in its feet. Wonderful food win.
