Ruby red, lightly to moderately extracted pigment, excellent clarity. Earthy, slightly funky nose initially. Hint of raspberry, good initial acidity, some seed bitterness on finish with length. Needs time to open but well structured wine. Cherry flavor and light-to-moderate skin astringency emerge after 30 minutes. Barnyard stink blows off after two hours. Worth the wait.

Wow! Wonderful pure fruit that jumps out of the glass. Precise, red fruit driven OR Pinot. Terrific stuff

Tons of heady earthy spice. Even a bit of white pepper. Depth and tons of personality. Beauty.

This is a bold, well-balanced pinot. Red cherry eithout being too acidic; hint of fireworks and wet volcanic rock (but not too much). $63, would drink again.

Floral notes on nose. Medium body, dry, smooth, mild acidity. Red fruit dominates palate.

Savory red-fruit elements describe this Pinot. Good tannic backbone and crunchy red fruits predominate.
