Intensely aromatic with ripe white fruits and orchards in bloom. Perfectly weighted with a long, clean finish. — 11 years ago

A very intense pinot! It could be the fact that the orchards are blooming here, but there's a smart hit of orange blossom in this bottle. Thank God it's not watery but still light. Very smooth and bold, not the widest variety of fruit BUT a great flavor I believe I can say I've never tasted in a pinot before. — 11 years ago
