Spends close to 3 years in oak. A bit heavy for the Style.

2012. Very light at first- almost watered down. Somehow time gave this depth. Wild tart red berries.

Mar 6th, 2016I tasted a complex chocolate and spice combination that was really pretty interesting as well as a good fruit/oak balance. I would have preferred a smokier or earthier taste though.

Not the greatest Pinot I have had but it's ok. A little short on fruit with more pronounced oak. It is smooth and easy to drink and not expensive.

Delicious and complex. Fruitier than I normally drink, but it works.
