Very subtle gold color. Lemongrass, grapefruit, and subtle Riesling elements on the nose. Same on the palate. Less acidity than I was expecting. Good depth, medium finish. — 7 days ago

Thought I was opening a Chard as I didn’t think I owned any Pinot, guess I was wrong :)

I drink very little Pinot so not leaving a note.

Can’t rate. Maybe the wine is in a weird spot or my palate was affected by the 4 sessions of snow shoveling, but if I had a blindfold on I would have thought this was a red. Somewhat restrained on the palate with lots of steel elements and some earth. Color was great, as was the cork, so must be me. Usually one of my favorites! — 13 days ago

PnP. Dark, deep wine. Nose is dominated by coconut and vanilla. Lots of sweetness on the palate with a silky texture. This exceeded expectations although the bottle variation continues! — 15 days ago

1hr+ decant. No mistaking this for Bordeaux. Nose is a massive bouquet of flowers! Same on the palate with some blackberries and meat in olive oil. Medium depth that is somewhat juicy with that a long lingering finish. Excellent! — 21 days ago
