Really fine Pinot. Nose skies out of the glass. Moist earth, sweet spices, tangy, rich black cherry juice, a bit of sweet, high-toned smoke. In the mouth it’s so flavorful yet seems to float. Very pure, tangy flavors that cling. Very little tannin. Seemingly still pretty youthful.

Intense, nose-tinglingly vibrant dark cherry fruit, along with a cinnamon-like spice note and some forest floor soil notes. Soft and mouthfilling. Almost no tannin, but bright acids. Clearly a short-term drinker. Very earthy. Lots of sous-bois. Distinctive.

Sappy, piercingly-tangy cherries, pine forest floor, some crushed rock. Both rich and tangy in the mouth, with a pronounced humus note. Lot of character.

Fresh off the line. Exotic red fruits and so spicy.

Normally a tasty Cali Pinot but sadly this bottle was corked. My US wine for the 4th wasn't to be.

Raspberry, cherry, bubblegum and savoury herbs on the nose. Lingering cherry on the palate, cranberry and blackberry, spectacular intensity. Very very lovely- exquisite example of California Pinot. Happy I’ve got several more bottles!
