Fruity nose suggests something good might be contained in the glass. Unfortunately, palate is wholely unpleasant. Mega fail. Maybe this case got too hot during shipping.
Revised after 15 minutes: after opening up (or maybe palate waking up) much more pleasant. Red fruit, bramble, wood and a touch of smoke and tobacco. Decent. — 6 years ago

Black fruit, earth, spice and cedar on the nose and the palate followed closely. Restrained fruit. Spice and oak were more prominent. — 6 years ago

Pale complexion. Bright floral nose set the stage for a palate that just does not follow through. All the delicious red fruit on the nose is just not present at all on the palate. Tannins are at least in balance and very soft, building in late. Short but pleasant finish. Leaves a lot to be desired. (Edited) much more drinkable close to room temp - 70* or so. Opens up the palate. Huge difference. Drink it warm! — 6 years ago

Pale complexion. Bright and young red fruit on the nose. Fruit forward with soft, almost non existent tannins that roll in later on the palate. Short finish.

After opening up and warming up in temperature, Smoky and cedar notes came out on the palate and the tannins rounded out, improving the experience. Still lacking a bit of density. Not half bad though. — 6 years ago

Lush young red fruit on the nose and palate. Very fruit forward for a Pinot, but enjoyable nonetheless. — 6 years ago

Dark fruit and oak nose. Restrained but present fruit with spice, earth and cedar notes on the palate. Firm, velvety tannins. Approachable and very drinkable. Really enjoyed! — 6 years ago

Bright red fruit on the nose. Fruit forward on the palate with mild pepper. Laid back acid and tannins make it smooth and approachable. Nice medium-length finish. — 6 years ago
