Had another bottle on vacation. Bright Ruby with aromas of sweet red fruit and herb spice. On the palate red fruit flavors of sweet raspberries and cranberries with some cinnamon spice and smoky oak very well balanced, soft tannins and perfect acidity. Lingering finish ending with earthy tones and mineral notes. Aged well after about a year but some more time in the bottle will benefit.

Very herbal and medicinal at first. Blows off and shows you a decadent layer of lush red Pinot fruit. Not my style, but nevertheless satisfying. @Pignetti's Restaurant, Temple TX

Over extracted. Flabby. No acidity. Couldn't even finish it.

Fantastic Pinot, just like the 2014. Powerful fruit, smooth like a cab, delicious.

High dark stone fruits. Grows better with every sip and bite. On the heavier side of Pinots but pleasantly surprised.

This Pinot Noir lived up to the high praise I’ve heard. Full flavor profile without being too heavy. Interesting spice notes, very easy to drink
