Ruby-red. Energetic cherry and dark berry scents are complemented by deeper notes of licorice and cola. Sappy and broad on the palate, offering intense black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors and a touch of smokiness. Finishes with dark berries, excellent clarity and length and youthfully chewy tannins. Stephen Tanzer, Vinous Media

Cola, bramble, touch of mint. Just the right amount of fleshiness.

Zippy acid, blacker fruit, spicy and savory. Nothing not to like.

Beautiful nose and very nice minerality. Went beautifully with our Peking Duck. Not a great sipping wine but great with food.

Apparently a Pinot doesn't need to have 14 + alcohol to have weight and fruit....lovely!

Full ripeness of cherry fruit with beautiful balance of acid, cardamon, five spice and cedar undertones. Medium body weight. But I'd cellar this for longer term drinking in 5-10 years

Complete Pinot noir. A bit tight but opened after 24 hours. Bright cherry, char (toast) on nose with cran-cherry finish. Well structured and balanced.
