Sweet, pure and completely classic mostly red pinot fruit aromas are enhanced by subtle nuances of floral notes, damp earth, underbrush and even a hint of game. The big, muscular but utterly refined flavors are superbly intense, reserved and backward supported by remarkably sophisticated tannins and stunning length. This is a very concentrated wine of real breed and impeccable balance that should age for 3 decades, perhaps longer... Burghound.com

Very pure red fruit. A hint of grapefruit, cranberry, brown sugar. Intense, lifted and long- this is great.

Uhhhh, yes! Big and brooding. Took at least 30 minutes to start to show up. Still just an absolute baby but thankfully a little giving.

This was brooding & tightly wound that needed an hour to open. Deep dark red & black fruits, floral, baking spices & underbrush.

Gloriously dark and intense. Blueberry, sour cherry, an inky gnarly blue iron depth. Packed with flavor but still very defined. Clarity and intensity. Gorgeous and long. Amazing
