Guaranteed oomph. Always. Not a subtle Pinot but never a bore. I love the punchiness of the fruit. Strong cherry and lingering sweet fruit with a great mouthfeel.

Bright wild cheery and raspberry aromatics lead to similar expression on palate…lite tannins throughout…interestingly different from the 2013…feel comfort holding

Comes off very hot on the nose. Tarter cherry notes.

I know less about pinot than George Costanza knows about women, but I'll be damned if this isn't an exceptional wine. Poured a beautiful garnet color. Forest floor and raspberries on the nose. Same on the month, with balanced tannins and moderate acidity. I can't articulate any other flavors other than "this tates good." A long, 30-second finish leaves me with no response other than, "more please, this is an amazing wine!" Having no reference point for other pinots, all I can say is drink up, this is a fantastic wine.
