Decent fruit with good ripeness and cleanliness that is obfuscated with oak. (Yes, obfuscated, folks.)

Surprisingly decent juice, from basically a negociant, with obvious good connections. Well made RRV Pinot.

Nice easy drinking Pinot. Not too complex, but exhibits all the Pinot qualities.

Playing catch up so notes will be brief for a while...

Tart cherry cola and the tart note is key in keeping this pinot from becoming to fat/flabby. A great food wine!
