Singing to the high heavens. Price at K&L is unbeatable considering this is 2nd best pinot noir I've had this year.

Well integrated fruit, striking acidity and high alcohol. Did this for a blind tasting and wasn't expecting what smelled/looked to be a Pinot noir, pack such a punch. Paired it with a Mediterranean dish with goat cheese to stand up to its complexity and acidity.
