Elegant. Medium bodied. Fresh. Beauty and length. Poured from a magnum. Not earthy but wet sand apparent in the aroma. Prim and proper.

Wow. An explosion of wild flowers and dark wild fruits. Elegant and rich at the same time.

A very fine feminine example of Pinot by daughter Selyem. Concentrated dark cherry, radishes, pine, vanilla, convert to an overwhelming nose of strawberry and cream soda over some time in the glass. Silky at first, with acid and tannic tension towards its lithe ending. I believe this will improve greatly with 5-6 years. I thought this was Oregon Pinot at first.

Dark ruby with a bit of orange.
Dulled blueberry black fruit with a little aldehyde.
Round start, acid tangs up middle, gentle tannins, surprisingly hot finish.

Pretty fruit, violets, soapy with earl grey tea, raspberry. Tastes like partial stem inclusion. Nice
