From the Haro-Lumia Tasters Dozen. This was surprisingly phenomenal. Soft and creamy, with black cherry, rose petal, and earl grey tea notes. Silky tannins, a memorable finish.

First night was fruit and balance. Second night felt tannins.

Light translucent and clean fresh Pinot fruit on the nose. Bigger than expected on the palate, light tannins and very pure ripe fruit. Linear and delicious. Good QPR.

I am trying a Pinot Noir from New Zealand tonight! This wine is mostly translucent and light ruby red. Drinking this a bit chilled brightens it up a lot! On the nose..cinnamon..mushroom..raspberries and red licorice. Tastes of plums.. raspberries..baking spices and a touch of graphite! Decent wine to explore! Shows more earth than fruit!

Interesting expression of pinot noir, raspberries with a hint of effervescence. Really light color, like you rinsed a paintbrush dipped in red in water. Reminds me more of gamay than of pinot noir.

Cantankerous but not pedantic. Best chilled a bit. Improved the dialectic. Nihari, kapooras and dhansak will go well with it. Flavors of falsa and jamun. Would have again
