I would say that this Pinot rides the fence of it's not all that compelling but still very drinkable. It's very simple and straightforward. Cherries, strawberries, some chalk, not much minerality and finishes with fruit that really doesn't shine. Ok yet disappointing vs. expectation/hope! It does darken up (blackberries & dark cherries) a bit and showed some smokiness & spices after an hour in the decanter.

Nice pomegranate and hibiscus notes, wet stone, lean and a bit austere.
