This was really good. Not a lot of tannins. Fruit. Balanced. Goes down very well. I went to the Vineyard and I am so glad I shipped some of this home.

Very concentrated- needs air time- quite good but perhaps still young

Smooth, combination of fruity and a little spice. Unusual Pinot in that its a bit more body than some, light on tannins, silky.

It's a big pinot without being TOO big. Pair with truffled cheese. Trust me.
