The best sextant vintage of Pinot yet! Vibrant bright cherry, lively wine that evolves in the glass. Perfect thanksgiving wine, which is why I paired it with the delicate pork tenderloin tonight. Has enough racy acid to challenge the vinaigrette accompanying the couscous salad. Lovely! ‘Tis the season! www.freerunjuicewine.com — comment and tag me if you would like a discount code! Cheers friends!

The bouquet is average but there's a complexity to the hit on the palette. Drinking a lot of Pinot lately and this is def a top notch one. If you catch it below $20 like I did you're getting a whole lot of special favors with the plums and the cherries. Special!

Good the first day. Better the next. Decanting will smooth this one out into the SLH you know and love. Luscious Pino.

Disappointing given the quality of grapes and vintage. But still very drinkable.

Light bodied with fruit and some earth and spice.
