I love their whites, but just can not get into Ted's reds. They are nice, but kind of nothing outstanding or special. Smooth, but rather one-note. Your usual suspects Pinot flavors. A nice 13.9 ABV. Has aged nicely. Really wish I had a couple more, but still 9.0.

This is excellent. A touch of smoke...and very well balanced.

Nice to pull any bottle off the shelf, and find it 5+ years old.
Wonderful Pinot effort, as usual, from Ted Lemon.

2008. Walked this vineyard in 2009 on a memorable tour of Littorai. This wine seems perfectly appropriate to that tour somehow. This Flavorful Pinot has a smoked meatiness to it. Very chewy and appealing.
