Berries, cherry cola, some spice near the end. Fairly fruity. Smooth, soft finish with a revisit of upfront flavors.

Pinot with a 20+ second finish? Yes please! One of my favorite KBs in a while. LOOONG finish. Toffee. Raspberry. Plum. Parker nailed it with a 95 rating, but Galloni clearly wasn't drinking the same wine if he only gave this wine 91 points. This is an exceptional wine.

We all agreed: this was huge for a Pinot and the fruit evaporated over time but fruit forward, with bright candied cherry and strawberries.

Still showing robust fruit and toast. Velvety tannins and very plush. Showy and a different beast entirely from our NW examples.
