Surprisingly lively, but lots of character, spicy notes, long finish. No rush.

Medium garnet colour with orange at the edges. Candied cherry and cotton candy nose. Medium-bodied, nicely balanced, 14.7% alc. Tastes of sweet red fruits (strawberry, raspberry), though wine is dry.

Another really nice bottle of this stuff. PnP at home. Visually appealing reddish purple in color with golden rim. Nose of plum, cherry and crushed brick. Medium bodied and complex palate of ripe fruit, mineral, cocoa and a hint green olive and earth. Well integrated and a joy to drink.

Lovely soft PN. Cherries, earth, integrated tannins. Altogether a solid almost French PN. Very enjoyable. Ready to drink!

Very old world in style - not a CA/OR Pinot. Hints of green olive, reminding me of Corton in Burgundy. Quite nice overall.

Nice Pinot, still pretty fruit heavy, but I would think this gets much better over next 5-10 years
