A nice ruby red in color. Cedar and toasty oak with dark cherries come forth on the nose. Cherries, sweet spice, plums, hints of licorice with floral notes on the palate. A more weightier Pinot with smooth tannins and a good balanced finish. I am more of a Burgundian Pinot kind of guy but this is a nice change of pace.

2011 was a widely panned vintage in Napa/Sonoma across all producers and varietals. Painting with such a wide brush is dangerous in an agricultural area as diverse with thousands of micro climates. While 2011 may be a “treasure hunt” vintage, there are plenty of gems to be found. As wine lovers, that is our job to find the treasures. That said, this is an example of a very good wine in a challenging year. Bright red fruit on the nose, freshness on the front palette, a lot of depth, nuanced, a lot of harmony between fruit and acid.

Dark, balanced, dark cherry. Opened it an hour ago but still tight. Solid but I've wanted more in these 2011's.
