Clean, pure fruit. New world but not overly done. Nice.

14.8% alc.
Sorry to say but with that kind of ripeness on a (Russian River) PN I think the varietal character gets lost.
I like the overall quality here as the wine is definitely enjoyable however just not varietal "correct" to me.

Silky smooth. Bold. One of the best wines I've ever had.

A bit jammy for my taste. One of the bigger pinots.

This was almost a dead soldier. Sustained a fall from the trunk when opened. Picked up the last 3 at the wine library. Can't wait.

Another really good pinot from UlisesValdez but not quite as good as the 2009 Lancelot Creek.
