Sneaky good value here. It’s like damp, ripe raspberries eaten next to a campfire that was recently doused after cooking a meal using star anise and clove.

Good quality Pinot, but not the style I seek out. A bit too big and beefy for my taste.

Best pinot i’ve ever had. 2008 is extremely complex with a perfect balance of acidity and sweetness. Phenomenal!

Nice light and balanced Pinot, some cherry upfront and smooth through the palette, not as much earth as other offerings I have had. Goes well with Chinese meat dumplings.
