I'm not a huge Pinot fan. This was nice. Cherry and tobacco.

Black cherry, raspberry, oak and dusty leather. Good structure and quite tannic.

Nice light summer Pinot. Could use a few years to develop.

Tried it a couple of times... Too "delicate" for my taste.

2012 vintage. Smooth raspberry, black cherry, currant, a touch of oak. Very easy drinking.

Close your eyes and it's a top Burgundy at a fraction of the price!

2012

Color: ruby almost transparent
Nose: very ripe red fruit, strawberry and raspberry, slight menthol, plum tart touch of new oak
Tasting: light bodied tart lemon and citrus, light American oak wood and cherry. Very bright and balanced.

Awesome bright wine that is complex and great drinking now!
