La Fenêtre Pinot Noir Sierra Madre Vineyard

Sweet, perfumed nose. Crisp cherry, cranberry, rhubarb, wet fur, and cardamom. The wine totally coats the palate, with a slightly medicinal finish. Beautiful wine to have on the dinner table. (Drink now to 2019+)

Outstanding Pinot! Ruby and garnet color. Juicy notes of strawberry, black cherry, nutmeg, all spice. A medium to full bodied Pinot with a round, plush mouthfeel. Finish of wild mushrooms and truffles. Very lovely wine.

Cali fruit profile; A bit of spice on the finish; Good body; Very nice finish

A bit thin. Nose of cola and red fruit. On the palate, fruit, earth and a slight bitter quality followed by acidity and oak.

Magnificent nose of cherry and cola. On the palette tart red fruits with a crisp, bright acidity and well integrated silky tannins. Long finish that reveals a hint of oak.

2nd sampling has been more backward and brooding. Nice texture, but the finish is disjointed. Gassed & saved for later. Really knits together on the 3rd day. The nose is knockout, and while the wine delivers on the palate, it doesn't quite do it to the heights of the previous bottle. On the good side, I'm gonna chalk it up to youth and say it will really come together with a year or so of laying down (2012-2017). When it …

Tart bing cherries with a gala apple finish. Paired real well with rotisserie chicken.

Lanolin, strawberry, cherry, hint of cola, freshly picked rosemary, and thyme. Lingering complex finish, with loads of Vosne spice. I love this wine's transparency & length. Its weight increases with time in glass. Easily dismissed as elegant, it's got the uncanny power of a Bruce Lee love tap to the chest. Grand cru quality & about as interesting as it gets as far as domestic pinot noir. I dunno how much it will get better, but life's too short to …

An expressive sour-cherry cola nose. No doubt new world but is quite pure and has a strong finish with good minerality to it. Best wine of the evening.
